Wildlife
Roach, bream, brown trout and rudd are the main fish.[2][3]
There are extensive callows on the shoreline, which is proposed as a Natural Heritage Area. A flock of Greenland white-fronted geese (Anser albifrons flavirostris) feed there.[4]
Regattas
A regatta was held on this lake in 1895, but the regatta was not repeated because the lake was too small.
