Suggestive walkway along the water's edge: perhaps more suitable for pedestrians than bikes but to be done at least once together with the tour of the lake (avoid Sundays and holidays, too crowded)

Very nice beach where you can stop and take a couple of photos of the bikes. Reachable with MTB and Gravel via a paved road or on dirt, we are talking about 30 meters less. From here you continue with the beautiful cycle path that follows the lake.
