  • Nice little walk to get to the lake. Very fast, and very accessible. The charm is crazy but from April the level is quite low, after that I fear that the lake will dry up quickly…
  • An easy walk through the woods takes you to mirror lake. It is a breathtaking place. Be sure you are there at the right moment in the morning to see the perfect reflections on the lake.
