Dive-site story
Murner See is a flooded former open-cast lignite mine located in the Upper Palatinate Lake District. The entry near the wooden observation tower leads divers over submerged quarry terraces and steep clay drop-offs. Submerged tree roots and sunken training features provide navigational landmarks as the bottom steps downward into chilly, darker depths.
