Lake Zurich shore-entry wall dive in Erlenbach.
Kleiner Parkplatz is a Lake Zurich shore-entry wall dive in Erlenbach, reached by stairs from the parking area. The shallow plant zone gives way to a steep freshwater wall with boulders, overhangs, and deeper features toward Rapperswil. It suits divers who want a straightforward shore entry and a classic Zurich lake wall profile, with limited parking and cool-water conditions shaping how the day feels. It is a compact, no-frills site that rewards careful trim, steady buoyancy, and a calm pace on the return through the shallower plants.
