Frankenwald Stands upright at 44 meters depth, and this 122-meter-long German freighter is a truly magnificent sight.
Frankenwald, One of the world’s best wreck dives
Frankenwald must be regarded as one of the best wreck dives in the world. As it stands today in all its splendour, diving into this monster ship is a fantastic experience.
She’s still in excellent condition after over 70 years at the bottom of the sea, and several dives are necessary to explore all her secrets. The deck lies at 24–34 meters. The bow of Frankenwald at 34 meters depth is truly a stunning sight. In good visibility, you can see the mast and bridge almost 40 meters further behind! The foredeck contains exciting details like bollards, winches, ventilation pipes, etc.
Built in Hamburg in 1922
Frankenwald was built in steel in Hamburg in 1922 and is 122 meters long. Although swimming the entire length in one dive is possible, you need several dives to see and explore the whole wreck. The stern is epic, and the place at Frankenwald with the most pictures …… rest of the story you hear in Gulen.
