The quiet landscape can provide a framework for canoeing, swimming or hiking around the lake, which takes about 1 hour. And the children can easily join in.
The lake's depth varies greatly from place to place and goes down to 160 meters, but do not hold back, there is usually a lifeguard to supervise. The lake also contains two small islands. The largest of them has an area of 3000 m² and is protected in the sense that the fauna and flora freely allows to evolve without any human intervention. The other island is located below the water surface and appears only when the water level is low enough. The island is called Isola dell'86 as it was in the year 1986 that it appeared for the first time.
