LOCATION

Other things to note
The bottom of the lake is naturally humus-rich, so the water in the lake is dark. The cottage is best suited for adults who are able to move normally due to differences in altitude. We recommend that you bring outdoor shoes, warm and rainproof clothing and rubber boots to the cottage.
