Überlingen – Post
Straight across the promenade from the Post multi-storey car park, a fairly steep slope turns into a wall at about 24 m and back into steep slope below 40 m. Around 35 m the wall becomes an overhang, so divers who hug it on the way down end up with rock above them. In December and January large numbers of char spawn under the overhang and eels come to feed on the eggs. Local guides warn that the overhang is easy to underestimate.
