The round around the lake (about 13km) was planned. Then turned around because of continuous rain and took the shortest route back to the car. In addition, the hiking trail was not accessible after about 3 km (1st vantage point). It was overgrown, so redirection.
Otherwise everything was ok... watching ships and experiencing nature. :-)
