DS Frankenwald Wreck

About this site

Named Norway's most beautiful shipwreck, this German steamship sank in the Sognefjord in 1940. The wreck is remarkably well-preserved with the deck at 24-34m. In good visibility, divers can see all the way to the mast and bridge. Cold-water diving at its finest.
