Just stunning. There are no words to describe how beautiful this lake is. Apparently late autumn is one of the best times to see it - the autumn colours of yellow and red set against the emerald blue of the lake water. Please note for those who are have difficulty with mobility it can be difficult to access the lake. We were able to take a taxi to the lake but there are about 50-60 steps to the lakeside. Even with 2 of us helping my elderly companion did struggle (although we did manage it).
