The legend of the Dancing Pond tells of a castle that was cursed here on a stormy night and then sank. According to legend, anyone who dares to go to the middle of the pond can still see the tower's golden ball.

The karst lake is struggling with the heat and falling water levels.
But it is still a beautiful biotope.
The paths to the lake are fantastically beautiful.

This narrow path, deeply rooted and strewn with gypsum stones, shows how karst shapes and shapes the region.
