Grafstatt is a steep freshwater wall dive on Lake Zug in Walchwil, reached by a tight shore entry from a narrow roadside parking strip by the pumphouse. The wall drops quickly into deep water and demands careful buoyancy, a calm exit plan, and comfort with cool, changeable lake conditions. It is a classic Swiss lake wall for experienced divers who want a simple access route and a serious underwater profile.
