About this stone

This place was born from a former gravel pit, now filled with clear groundwater and transformed into one of the city's most beloved recreational spaces. In summer, locals flock here to swim, paddle, play beach volleyball, try water sports, or simply relax by the shore with a cold drink—all conveniently reachable by a short tram ride. When winter arrives and the lake freezes over, the atmosphere transforms entirely. The same stretch of water becomes a gathering place for the brave and the wellness-minded, who brave cold plunges and icy dips as part of winter swimming rituals. It's the kind of place that shifts its personality with the seasons, offering everything from carefree summer recreation to meditative winter immersion.
