A small wetland with high value, preserved in the core of an intensively developed tourist area.

A valuable wetland because:

• rare natural values such as typical aquatic vegetation and aquatic fauna are still found in it
• interesting waterfowl is supported during the migration period as well as during the winter
• it serves as a sanctuary where local people and visitors may have peaceful contact with nature and a relaxing time
• it can act as a counterbalance to the intense tourism as well as a pilot area to implement new approaches and developements of recreation activities in general
• but mainly because it sensitizes its visitors in general and future generations in particular to the major issue of preserving the environment
