It is always worthwhile to come up here, the bike has to be pushed partially. Actually a driving ban would be but during the week, when hardly anyone is there, there should be no problem. Some respect and the people greet, that has been helping for years. On nice weekends it is a bit crowded, so you should enjoy the more during the week.

It makes sense to hike around the lake, leave your bike behind!

Idyllic, quiet reservoir at about 1,000 meters altitude. The dams are to be driven. There is a picnic area and a kiosk. 100 to 200 meters root trail in the northeast.
