It’s not so much that beaches are for everyone here. All the land is occupied by private owners all around this lake, and it’s been that way for many decades. There are only 4 public access points around the entire lake. It’s quite sad actually.

The reason they won’t let new constructions take place close to the water’s edge has something to do with nature conservation, pollution and whatnot. I’m not sure I understand. All I know is, when this cottage is gone, it ain’t never coming back. So it’s worth keeping in good condition.
