Crystal clear water and many pikes - Baumgärtli 1. May 2026

I've dived into the crystal clear water on dive spot Baumgärtli on Zugersee and I've met a lot of pikes. The water was astonishingly clear as for Zugersee, even on 40 meters you could still see without flashlight.

The sunlight reflected by the gentle waves was dancing under the surface in the 3 meters depth. sunlight dancing

As I’ve dived deeper, the water was getting green, but the sight was still amazing. water deeper

Here is really amazing view on the stone wall that goes up to the surface. The pipe is normally covered in murky water layer, today you could see it fully. wall surface pipe

The weather was so beautiful that I’ve made a walk around Chiemen peninsula - I recomend it to you, it’s a very nice walk with panoramic views. chiemen panorama
