Dive-site story
Along the eastern shore of Lake Zurich, Grosser Parkplatz gives direct shore access for freshwater diving. Silt and gravel shallows slope toward clay steps and muddy bottom contours. Upper shallows hold weed beds and small fish shoals, while descending beneath the thermocline requires drysuit discipline and good buoyancy to avoid kicking up the fine sediment.

Seasonality
