As the largest natural bathing water in the Roth district, the Rothsee is a popular alternative for divers seeking a unique and refreshing underwater adventure.

Before diving, it's important to note the specific customs and laws of the Rothsee. We highly recommend either exploring the lake beforehand or reaching out to a local dive center for guidance. By respecting these regulations, you'll ensure a safe and enjoyable diving experience.

Immerse yourself in the Rothsee's depths and prepare to encounter fascinating marine life.

With visibility reaching up to 2 meters and a maximum depth of 6 meters, every dive promises to be an exploration of the unknown.

Surrounded by lush forests and meadows, the Rothsee is nestled within the enchanting triangle of Roth, Hilpoltstein, and Allersberg. This breathtaking location spans a surface area of 2.1 square kilometers, with a 50-hectare reserve, including a 20-hectare nature reserve. The Rothsee is divided into two sections: a lock and a main lock. The main lock, covering 160 hectares (including a 10-hectare nature reserve), is the ideal playground for divers, sailors, surfers, and stand-up paddlers. Anglers also frequent this area for their own aquatic pursuits.

To preserve and continue enjoying this local recreational gem, it is crucial to cooperate, show consideration, and comply with the regulations, such as respecting restricted areas and following proper labeling. By doing so, we can collectively appreciate the wonders of the Rothsee and create lasting memories in this divers' paradise.
