Neufelder See Nordrunde
Located approximately 16-18 minutes to the north and 30-50 meters from shore, you will discover an impressive underwater formation—a steep wall that descends to a depth of around 20 meters. Above this wall, at a shallower depth of 5 meters, lies a vast expanse of seagrass meadow, specifically the sago pondweed variety. To the west, you'll find the rising shoreline, offering a convenient guide on your right-hand side, which leads back to the entrance.
Within this seagrass meadow, an abundance of juvenile fish, such as sunfish, perches, and pikes, can be observed in their natural habitat. It is not uncommon to encounter tench and catfish in this area as well, adding to the diversity of marine life.
It is worth noting that the steep face of the wall holds historical significance. It was formed as a result of the former open-cast coal mine that operated in this area until 1932, thereby contributing to the formation of the nearby lake.
Divers exploring this site can expect a visibility of approximately 6 meters, allowing for a clear and immersive underwater experience. The maximum depth achievable within this dive location is 16 meters, making it suitable for divers of varying skill levels, including beginners, advanced divers, and experts.
Located in Austria, this dive site is situated near 12 Franz-Schiller-Straße, Neufeld an der Leitha, Bezirk Eisenstadt-Umgebung, Burgenland, 2491, ensuring convenient access for divers wishing to explore this captivating underwater world.
