  • One of the most beautiful places I have ever bene! For sure It Is worth the visit. Important to Remember to book the parking before going, mainly in the weekends. The walking around the lake is easy also to go worth family, but with several stairs in the way.
  • This is a wonderful place. Good parking. Unfortunately, still too many idiots that leave their litter. As dog owner, I don‘t understand those who bag up and then disregard the bag😡. Still the path around the lake is beautiful. Water level was a little low.
