Shore-entry Lake Zug wall dive with an easy left line.
Pebble-beach access, modest visibility, and two route choices: shallow left-hand training or a deeper right-hand wall run.
About Zigeunerplätzli, Walchwil
Zigeunerplätzli, Walchwil is a shore-entry Lake Zug dive that works as both a beginner training line and a deeper wall run. From the pebble beach, the easy left-hand route stays shallow and simple, while the right-hand route drops toward an overhanging wall with caves and tree trunks farther out. Plan for a slippery lakeside path, modest visibility, and a site that rewards calm practice or a more committed wall dive.
