Best for beginner divers, 20-40m, shore entry.
Lothenbach is a freshwater wall dive located in Lake Zug, Weggis-Vitznau. The site features a wall that drops from 20 to 40 metres, requiring careful monitoring of depth gauges. Divers can expect visibility between 5 and 10 metres. The structure provides habitat for various freshwater fish and invertebrates, including pike, burbot, perch, common roach, and crayfish. Entry is from the shore. Due to the cold water, adequate thermal protection such as a drysuit or thick wetsuit with hood and gloves is recommended. Divers should always deploy a surface marker buoy to remain visible to boat traffic, which can be frequent in the area.

Cold water is a genuine hazard here year-round, so a drysuit or a thick wetsuit with hood and gloves is strongly recommended regardless of season. Enter carefully from shore and stay aware of boat traffic on the surface, especially on busy summer weekends.
