This legendary flooded chalk quarry is widely regarded as one of Germany's finest dive sites, with crystal-clear water offering visibility of 10 to 30 meters depending on depth and season. The milky turquoise water reveals submerged industrial heritage including buildings, cranes, vehicles, and railway tracks from the quarry's operational days. The steep chalk walls create dramatic vertical landscapes. Pike, perch, and eel inhabit the shallower zones. Deep diving here requires technical training and cold-water preparation.
