Great lake with a gigantic view of the mountains. Swimming is possible, but the water is not as clear as previously assumed - it is more reminiscent of a bathing pond, but still a beautiful lake :) Be careful - don't trample on the beautiful herb meadows! A path leads up to a photo spot with the rustic wooden huts in the foreground - you shouldn't miss it.
