The lake extends over approximately 25 hectares and reaches a maximum depth of 10 meters. Its shores are surrounded by reed beds, wet meadows, and alder and willow forests, which provide refuge to numerous animal species.
Among the aquatic plants, the water chestnut (Trapa natans) stands out, a botanical rarity that still finds an ideal habitat here.
The area is rich in migratory and aquatic birds—including herons, coots, mallards, and grebes—making the lake a perfect destination for birdwatchers and nature photographers.
