The lake has something to offer in every season. In summer you can go pedal boating here. In winter we've even walked across the frozen lake.

Maybe this highlight should be extended to the entire circular route around the lake. Because, except when it's packed, there are cozy places everywhere.

Benches can be found everywhere. Some almost directly on the water. There is always movement in the water, be it from fish or birds.
