Attersee – Schwarze Brücke
One of the Attersee's deep wall dives on the east shore near Steinbach. There are two steep entries (one with a hand line by the crosses, one at road km 11.8). Divers head right, past a stream inflow and large boulders, and after a few minutes reach a wall that plunges far beyond recreational depth. In late summer the shallows are thick with plants, fry and occasionally large pike.
