Hiking

Very easy to reach from the city, here you can walk around the lake in peace and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle, and at the same time you can also observe many birds.

Hiking

Pure nature just a short walk outside town. Good for a run or skiing at any suitable time of the year. Off the main tourist track, good for a picnic and taking a breather from town. Skip one of the main touristy attractions and go for this lake would be my consideration, if limited in time...
