Description

The trail goes around the lake. A wooden boardwalk allows hikers to cross the most humid areas and the peat bog without damaging these fragile environments.

Six unusual stops explain the valley's geological formation, how hydraulic power was once used along the water and present the aquatic life in the lake.
