Wallhausen - Hochhaus is a classic Bodensee steep-wall dive for experienced divers who want a long drop and precise buoyancy work. The entry is simple on paper but the wall begins almost immediately and then falls away to serious depth, with ledges and route markers to track on the way down. Plan it as a cold-water lake dive: the wall is the draw, while visibility and weather decide how much of it you get to see.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
0m - 80m
Depth Note
The steep wall begins in very shallow water and falls to around 80 m, with markers around 12 m, 23 m and the Klinker sector near 43-50 m.
Best Season
Winter and early spring usually give the clearest water; calm weather matters year-round.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Treat this as an experienced-diver wall site: keep trim tight, respect the surface swim, and avoid chasing depth if the visibility drops.
Access Restrictions
Shore entry uses the designated slipway and ladder, followed by a short surface swim before the wall drop starts.
Legal Notes
Use the designated Wallhausen access and parking areas, and follow local harbor rules for the slipway and lake entry.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
This is an experienced-diver wall profile with a shallow start, a short surface swim and a steep drop that rewards precise buoyancy.
Freediving
Not a practical freedive destination except for controlled training by very experienced apnea divers; the wall drops too fast for casual sessions.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited to the entry area. The main attraction is the wall dive itself, not a shallow reef top.
