Finally, I went there spontaneously today. It was okay for a small lake. There's also a nudist area. Since I didn't swim, I can't comment on the water quality. It looked clear, though. Unfortunately, there were also broken glass by the water, like dog poop. 🤷♂️

Beautiful gravel trails along the canal. There aren't many pedestrians here, which is good for fast riding.
