Visibility tends to be at its best earlier in the day before any surface activity stirs up the water, so aim for a morning dive if you can. The on-site guided tours are worth booking if you are new to the site, as a guide will help you get the most out of the limited visibility conditions.
From the A10 motorway, take the Freienbrink exit and drive towards Fürstenwalde along Hangelsberger Chaussee. About 2 km after the roundabout, a green sign marked Störitz points to an asphalt forest path leading to the lake, where a car park is located before the Störitzland camp.
