Steep freshwater wall at Walchwil
Walchwil shore entry with a ladder, a steep Lake Zug wall, and freshwater fish in a cold alpine lake.
About Chlausenegg / Känzeli
Chlausenegg / Känzeli is a steep Lake Zug wall dive in Walchwil, reached by a ladder from a small parking area at the end of the village toward Arth. The wall starts just below the entry and drops quickly through multiple steps into a cold freshwater lake, so it suits experienced divers who want a classic alpine-wall profile with perch, pike, and other lake fish rather than a shallow training site.
