Beautiful cycle path along the canal

This is the supply canal from the Marne to the lake, the canal is 12 kilometers long.

The lake's water level is at its highest at the end of June, and at its lowest at the end of October - at that time, a large part of the lake is flooded, and the remains of the stumps of the former trees can still be seen.
