Bike ride round the lake, 18 miles in total, outstanding views and can take as long as it takes, took us about 4 hours. Most of it on designated cyle paths however parts on road. If facing the lake from the Youth Hostel side make sure you go left which goes thru the park and the main beach as although some uphills definately easier this way as saw some big hills on the way back we whizzed down where as some people where cycling that way.
