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.

Beautiful little footbridge to cross the canal at its entrance into the Der reservoir. To the north you have a panoramic view of the canal as far as the eye can see, and to the south you can see the dam.
