Just a few meters from the road, at the northeast end, you can even ride your racing bike to the "beach" to cool off.

Beautiful lake with plenty of benches and a rest hut. Unfortunately, not suitable for swimming—it's a fishing spot.

The partially broken concrete surface doesn't make the terrain any better. However, it does make for an interesting challenge on a mountain bike. With a "normal" bike, you should be careful that the material doesn't suffer too much.
