Rest spot with a swing

Highlight • Rest Area

On the loop around the lake, you don't often get to see the water. The terrain is heavily overgrown except for the north side. That's why you should take the swing for a break.

This hike was part of the 7 lakes hiking day. We did the W17 sunrise tour of 33 km. It was a beautiful but also strenuous day, with wonderful weather and an absolutely excellent organization of the hiking event * many thanks to all the organizers and to the many kind and hard-working helpers around the routes.
