Description
Grüner See's west shore provides a gentler introduction to its unique submerged world, typically being the most shallow area. Dive here during the spring melt to witness the breathtaking transformation as the lake swells, submerging meadows and park features, creating an unforgettable, almost surreal underwater landscape. The shallow depths make it ideal for snorkelers and beginner divers to appreciate this natural phenomenon.
