A very overgrown lake, that slowly becomes a bog. Paradise for birds who flock here in great numbers. There is an observation deck from southern side with good view of entire bog. Some insect repellent and binoculars may be useful. No dogs allowed. While possible to access by car it may not be good idea, as road is in bad shape.
