The scary beetle from Königssee – why an old VW has been lying at the bottom of the lake for 60 years. The story behind the scary wreck describes a tragic accident.
In 1998, 34 years after the tragic accident, biologist Hans Fricke dived in his submarine. He took unique video recordings of the VW Beetle, which can now also be seen on YouTube. The low oxygen content on the lake bed keeps the car together. If salvaged, the entire vehicle would probably fall apart.
