Dive-site story
Located along the eastern shore of Lake Zurich near Erlenbach, Kleiner Parkplatz is a straightforward roadside shore dive. Entry is made from the rocky bank into shallow water before the bottom drops along a silty incline. Divers descend past scattered boulders and sunken tree branches into colder, low-light depths where local freshwater bottom-dwellers rest in the sediment.
Steep lakebed slope dotted with sunken tree branches and boulders
Reliable spot for spotting nocturnal burbot resting in the silt
Convenient roadside access with steps leading down to the lake
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Colder months provide significantly better water clarity and higher chances of encountering burbot shallow.
