The lake's water level is at its highest at the end of June, and at its lowest at the end of October - at that time, a large part of the lake is flooded, and the remains of the stumps of the former trees can still be seen.

The exhibition about the three villages whose projects may be relevant today, while in the past people lost their homes. It was very interesting to learn more about the crafts and the people in the region. A wonderful exhibition!
