Dive-site story
Neufeldersee is a flooded former open-cast lignite mine located south of Vienna. Used heavily as a primary regional training lake, it features designated shore entries, submerged training platforms, and several artificial underwater features along with submerged tree stumps. Thick vegetation covers the shallows in warmer months, providing shelter for native European freshwater fauna.
