Dive-site story
A flooded former open-cast lignite mine in the Upper Palatinate lake district, Murner See is entered at the western shore Turm point near the wooden observation tower. The route descends terraced clay slopes shaped by past excavation, navigating past submerged tree stumps, silt banks, and fixed training platforms.
Submerged industrial mining terraces and clay formations
Sunken tree structures sheltering predatory freshwater fish
Training platforms set along descending slope contours
