Zollboothaus is a winter-only Seerhein current dive.
Zollboothaus at Gottlieben is a winter-only Seerhein current dive with a shore entry, active boat traffic, and no free-water ascents. The access is simple on paper, but the dive itself is controlled and demanding: plan for a river profile, low visibility when sediment lifts, and a deeper riverbed that suits experienced scuba divers. Freshwater fish such as pike, perch, and trout are the main draw.
