Plansee – Hotel Forelle
The second classic Plansee entry is the bathing beach behind the Hotel Forelle, a few hundred metres west of the Planseecamp. Turning left you reach a large hay wagon at about 16 m; to the right lies an old rowing boat at about 12 m, and in the shallows stand the stilt foundations of the former hotel. Divers also mention a 'crayfish wall' and a car further down the steep slope, which can be followed to 35 m and beyond.
