cycling around this lake is everything! the perimeter around the lake is remnants from the bubble era, which is not necessarily a bad thing. there's plenty of nostalgia and nature to be experienced while riding through local villages and bike paths through the greenery. the statue is what it is but perfect photo opp for IG bragging. rent a bike when you get off the bus, pick up some drinks and snacks at the shop and stroll around the lake!
