Access

There are 2 main access routes but it is possible to walk along a large part of the lake (rubber boots essential). Summer months it is better to avoid the area given the proximity of the crowded beaches., which requires parking far away and disturbs the serenity of the observations. A complete circular walk of all the communicating ponds is difficult due to the configuration of the place.
