Hiking

During the weekends in sunny day during the summer it is really overcrowded - don't go there at that time. Better to go there from Monday to Friday if you want to enjoy the whole place

All of the lakes are unique in their characteristics. They're all a bit similar, but each offers something unique to enjoy :)

The lake has the shape of a kidney and hence its name.
