Liegewiese

No reviews yetGermany, Bayern, Starnberger See

Good site for Tec-Dive. The road to the dive site is restricted, usually you'd need a permission to drive there, but divers are tolerated to pass the way. There are some parking lots at the dive site, but: unless you don't have the drive-through license you're not allowed to park here! Quite confusing and frustrating, it's an about 15min walk to park legally (=outside the resident's zone). Otherwise you need to consider a ticket for illegal parking.. about 15€! Liegewiese is also known as Starnberger See - Wintertauchplatz.
