Visibility can drop significantly after rain or heavy recreational use on the lake, so early morning visits on calm days give you the best chance of reaching the 7-metre end of the range. The wall is a useful navigation aid in low visibility, so start your dive following it from entry and you will always know your way back.
Walk from the parking lot straight to the lake via a narrow passage called Engeler Visserspad. There is another entrance nearby.
