Lake

3.30 km

The Blue Lake gets its name from the bright blue color that is visible from a distance in photos. This color is created by the reflection of light. A combination of a few fine particles in the water and the white sand at the bottom of the lake ensure the perfect reflection of the light. And that leads to this beautiful blue color. When you swim, you see transparent water around you. But when it comes to large amounts of water like in our Blue Lake, you see a deep blue color.
The lake offers a lot of water sports such as pedal boating, swimming, etc.
A fine white sandy beach gives the feeling of being in the South Seas. A restaurant also invites you to rest and enjoy.
