The lake suddenly appears in a deep forest of oaks, elms and silver birches. It is only 1.5 km around the small lake, but the beauty of it is beyond expression. People just sit on the lakeshore and look it in silence. When we got there, the surface of the lake was completely calm like a big mirror reflecting the fresh green forest on its surface. But surprisingly, during the dry season the water level drops considerably and it becomes completely dry.
