In winter, when the temperatures are icy, the natural pool is frozen over, so ice skating is the order of the day. It's great for big and small.😉🤩

Beautiful pond and good way to go there by bike. It is very good that there is a dixiklo there, which is also very clean. Especially on long tours, when you are on the road, you accept that gratefully.

Unfortunately, there was little water in the pond, otherwise it would certainly have been nicer
