Best for intermediate divers, 5-40m, shore entry, mild current.
Höbarthwand is a freshwater wall dive in Attersee, Austria, featuring a sheer rock face that descends from 5 to 40 metres. This site is suited for intermediate divers who possess solid buoyancy control, as the wall drops rapidly into deep diving territory. Divers can expect mild currents and visibility ranging from 5 to 30 metres. Shore entry is available, and a dive shop is located on site. Due to cold water temperatures, dry suits or thick wetsuits are required year-round. Divers should remain vigilant for boat traffic when surfacing and wear protective footwear to avoid contact with sharp rocks on the seabed.

The site is diveable year-round, so plan around visibility rather than season. A dive computer with a depth alarm is worth setting at 30 metres if you are not current on deep diving, given how quickly the wall draws you down.
