We were on our bikes, but this place is also easy to reach on foot - unfortunately you can only choose one sport on Komoot. There is no lifeguard - that's obvious, so everything is at your own risk. Be careful with the large stones in the water, if you swim too confidently you could definitely injure yourself on them. There is a small sandy beach with lots of families.
