Diving adventure in the lake Wolfgangsee...
The depth increases from west to east, the deepest point (114 m) lies south of Sappl. The water is of drinking quality. Visibility is good: in the flat areas from five to ten meters. Underneath sits a layer of cloud where visibility is at only one to two meters, from 15 m the water is clear again, but a torch is needed. Lush vegetation in up to six meters depth.The lake sometimes freezes over in winter.
The tourist spots are concentrated on the north bank. The south bank is undeveloped, covered in woodland and very steep, falling up to 90m under the water.
Fish:
Carp, trout, tench, char, chub, pollan, barbell, fresh water herring, whitefish
Unusual Features/Hazards:
Pay attention to regular service ships, sailing boats and surfers!
On discovering weapons, never touch them and it is imperative that you report them, otherwise you may be liable for a hefty fine!
In St. Wolfgang itself diving is only allowed with permits, which are only issued to guests with accommodation. The lake does however have other things to offer.
