This pool of water was originally used as a military training facility for horses and their men to learn how to navigate through waters as practice for crossing water obstacles in the war. The pool is disused today, however makes a nice little oasis in nature to enjoy some scenic views.

The area is still used as a military training facility, it's essential to plan your trip in advance and check the firing times before visiting.
