This stunningly scenic lake is one of the best preserved in the region.

Nestled between mountains and forests, this lake is appreciated for its sumptuous scenery and the peacefulness that reigns there. Of volcanic origin, this crater, now filled with water, extends over just 15 hectares and reaches a maximum depth of 26 metres. It's one of the best-preserved lakes in the region, and it's not uncommon to come across herds of cattle grazing in the surrounding pastures. You can walk around the lake, which is particularly popular with hikers, as it lies at the crossroads of the GR 30 and GR 441 footpaths.

Lac d'origine volcanique situé dans un espace nature magnifique. IL est doux et paisible de se promener autour
La baignade et le canotage n'y sont pas autorisé, par contre la pêche y est autorisée.

Très joli petit lac de type "Maar" (phénomène volcanique explosif dû à une infiltration d'eau).
La visite en automne, au soleil couchant puis de grand matin, a permis une gamme de couleurs exceptionnelle, du gris acier du ciel se reflétant dans le lac, au blanc de l'écume naturelle qui se forme sur les rives, assortis de toutes les couleurs de l'automne sublimées par le soleil.
L'eau est très transparente.
Un lieu très paisible, agréable, sauvage, reposant.
Des panneaux d'information sur le volcanisme et l'équilibre biologique et écologique des milieux renseignent en outre le visiteur curieux.
Des travaux de génie écologique sont en cours afin de pouvoir concilier accueil des visiteurs et préservation du lieu.
