Wigoltingen, Vagoweiher is a restricted freshwater pond for summer use.
Wigoltingen, Vagoweiher is a former gravel-pit pond in Thurgau used as a local summer recreation area. It has dense aquatic vegetation, fish throughout, pond mussels, and a simple shore layout, but access is tightly controlled and diving requires permission. Treat it as a calm, low-visibility freshwater site rather than a conventional open-water dive.

Scuba Diving
Scuba is a controlled freshwater session in dense vegetation and shallow pond margins; plan it as a conservative, permission-based dive.
Freediving
Only for authorized users and only if you are comfortable in a shallow, vegetated freshwater pond. Keep it conservative and avoid the weed beds.
Snorkeling
Best as a shallow summer surface session for authorized users. Expect weeds, lilies, and limited visibility rather than a clear-water swim.
