Dive-site story
Situated along the eastern shore of Lake Zurich, Grosser Parkplatz provides straightforward shore access for local lake divers. The bottom drops quickly from a narrow shallow shelf into a steeply sloping silt and mud bank that descends into darker, colder depths. Divers navigating the slope encounter sunken tree trunks, rocky outcrops, and occasional training features placed along the descent.

Seasonality
Colder months bring clearer visibility and reduced algae growth, while warmer summer months see lower visibility in the shallows.
