Best for beginner divers, 20m, shore entry.
The Anlegesteg der Autofaehre offers a practical freshwater shore dive at a former car ferry jetty. Divers can explore the pilings and edges of the structure, which reach depths between 20 and 40 metres. Visibility typically ranges from 5 to 10 metres, with clearer conditions often found during cooler months. Entry is straightforward, though divers must remain vigilant due to active boat traffic in the area. A surface marker buoy is recommended during ascents to ensure visibility to passing vessels. The site is suitable for beginners, with an on-site café available for post-dive refreshments. Thermoclines are present throughout the water column, and seasonal temperature variations are significant.

Boat traffic is the main hazard here, so deploy a surface marker buoy when ascending and stay close to the jetty structure where vessels are less likely to pass. Visibility tends to be at its clearest in cooler months when algae growth is lower, so autumn and winter dives often reward the extra thermal protection.
