Dive with us in the fascinating underwater world...
The Facts
| Entering point: | - Kreuzstein - Pacherwandl - Kienbergwand 1 - Kienbergwand 2 - Harnischwand |
| Diving places: | KREUZSTEIN: The clearly defined great mass of rock with a mounted cross is to be found directly on the bank of the Mondsee near the Kienbergwand national road between Unterach am Attersee and Scharfling. There are no exiting rock faces to be found but there are very interesting rock and root formations. In Summer and Autumn this area is heavily overgrown and you sometimes find yourself diving in the middle of shoals of fish. A night diving tour at Kreuzstein can be a very special experience. PACHERWANDL FACE From Mondsee you drive in direction St. Gilgen: in Scharfling you take a left turn and continue in the direction of the tunnel. There is an interesting, 10-15m-high rock face. The shallow area features interesting vegetation and rootstocks. KIENBERGWAND: The rock tunnels between Scharfling and Unterach am Attersee are indeed impressive for every land visitor to Mondsee. Within the tunnels the Kienbergwand continues to drop to the depths of just over 30 meters. Apart from the interesting rock faces there are also a few car wrecks, whole trees, that have fallen from the mountain into the lake and an impressive overhanging rock at 17 m. HARNISCHWAND: Drive in the direction of Wolfgangsee from Mondsee along the B154, shortly after Plomberg a high rising, slippery rock face stands out immediately next to the road. The wall continues into the great depths of Mondsee and offers the proficient diver an imposing and, owing to the darkness, an often mystical diving experience.
