This is a beautiful area, and the lake is so lovely and serene. There is something special about this place though...I wish I could put my finger on it, but I cannot. You simply must experience it for yourself. Make certain you do one of the boat tours!

all briliant it just needed to come in a different time as it was the jewish pass over so was very crouded
