The lake can be completely circumnavigated without climbing any altitude. The beautiful route offers great views of the lake and the vineyards and the surrounding area. Along the path there are bushes and trees that are currently very green. Because it is so flat, the route is also suitable for a nice Sunday outing with small children, who can also take a small bike or scooter with them. Highly recommended.
