The lake is beautifully situated for swimming or other leisure activities, but one thing is very annoying: in some places too many geese and ducks heavily pollute the paths and shores, and the problem doesn't get smaller when there are always unreasonable visitors who feed the animals. They are beautiful animals and nice to look at with their young, but definitely too many in such an area.
