    Hiking

    Near the lake, two caves are dug into the cliff.

    The upper cave served as the lake warden's dwelling until the beginning of the 20th century. Today it is set up as a museum recounting the history of its troglodyte inhabitants.

    As for the lower cave, it has remained as it is.

    It is via a perfectly laid out path which, after a 300-meter walk, leads visitors to the famous dwellings. No one remembers the time when these caves were dug.
