Dive-site story
Located along the western shore of Lake Zug near Immensee, Baumgarten provides accessible shore diving into typical Swiss pre-Alpine waters. The underwater profile begins with a shallow littoral zone before giving way to a progressively steeper slope scattered with submerged logs, boulders, and silt pockets. Divers descend into darker, colder layers where burbot often rest on the sediment, while the vegetated shallows provide shelter for native freshwater species.
