Historical facts

Until 1987, there was just a small wetland formed by the cavity of the Votomos spring on the site of the lake.

It acquired its current form in 1987, when the Forest Service revived the area and created an artificial lake where the waters of the spring are retained.

Mythology

They used to say that in the old days there was a threshing floor in place of the lake. This threshing floor belonged to a young woman. One day, when the sun was burning and there was no water, the woman and her oxen were so thirsty that she begged God to send her water.

God heard her prayers, the threshing floor became a marsh and the young woman disappeared.
