Shore zone, water sports, bathing, diving, fishing

In the shore zones (inner 150 m, outer 300 m), motor vessels are limited to 10 km/h, and in the inner zone they may only enter for specific purposes; reeds and similar vegetation must be avoided, as a rule at a distance of 25 m. Water sports, bathing, diving and fishing have their own times, distances and signs, and events require a permit.
