Entrance / Exit

Option 1 | Going to the right you will enter the small Brougier Park, where you can access the water from a gravel beach. The entrance/exit from this point is forbidden between 10:00 and 20:00 from June 1 to August 31, and completely forbidden from September 1 to December 31.

Option 2 | Right in front of the parking lot are steps. The entrance/exit from this point is allowed all year round.

Description

Option 1 | Start the dive perpendicularly to the shore. First you will encounter boulders and small cliffs. The big wall starts at 30-35 m, which you then follow on your left side. Once you start going up you will meet a big tree at around 20 m that rests in its center on a rock and to which a trombone has been attached. Many fishes and in spring laying toads can be observed in the shallows. You exit in front of the parking (see option 2 above). A mound of bricks at 3 m marks the exit.

Option 2 | A carpet of plants where many fishes can bee seen accompany you down to 11 m. The wall starts at 20 m. A mound of bricks at 3 m marks the exit.

Toilets Yes, but closed during the cold months. A tree, a shrub, or a bush will then have to do the trick.
