Grüner See - East Shore
About this Dive Site
Description
The east shore of Grüner See offers a serene freshwater dive experience. While the underwater park is a highlight, remember that the lake's famous submerged landscape is most prominent in spring and early summer when snowmelt dramatically raises water levels, transforming the area into a temporary aquatic wonderland. Visibility is often exceptional, making it a photographer's dream.
