Nice walking trail suitable for both adults and children, featuring various outdoor activities for recreational play and exercise opportunities for sportsmen. The modest 50m elevation change makes it accessible for different fitness levels while still providing a good workout for those seeking more active pursuits in this green outdoor setting.

The lake of the pinconniere offers a very pleasant and calm environment, surrounded by lush greenery. Perfect for taking a short 30-minute family walk around the water. The area is bicycle-friendly with dedicated cycling paths, and there's a designated children's area with appropriate playground equipment and games for kids to enjoy after the walk.

A peaceful opportunity to enjoy this quiet place along the forest path that goes around it. Called Lake but it's more accurately described as a pond. The high tension power lines passing overhead do detract from the natural landscape and scenic beauty. Several different parking areas are available nearby for convenient access, making it easy to start your walk around the perimeter.
