The lake is drained every 10-20 years for repairs and maintenance. Being able to stand here is truly a rare treat!

Due to inspection and restoration work, which takes place approximately every 20 years, the lake is currently at this unusually low level. Being able to stand here is truly a rarity!

Every 10-20 years, the water level is lowered dramatically to allow for maintenance and inspection work. Being able to stand here is truly a rarity!
