Circular walk · 3 km · 45 min · flat, with a boardwalk beside the Lower Lake · the national park's green trail

The easiest walk in the valley and the one almost everyone does: the Green Road, a flat track among oaks linking the monastic city with the Upper Lake, returning along a wooden boardwalk beside the Lower Lake and its bog. From the park's information office it is a 3 km loop, about 45 minutes; from the visitor centre to the Upper Lake, about 20 minutes.
It is the national park's green trail. With small children, the boardwalk stretch is the favourite: you sometimes see lizards and dragonflies. Do not swim in the lakes: the park warns that there are no safe swimming areas or lifeguards.
