Summer

Middle circular route at Lake Carezza

Welschnofen/Nova Levante, Dolomites Region Eggental
Medium circular hike at Lake Carezza, the colorful rainbow lake, with suspension bridge, forest path, and Dolomite views – a protected natural monument to marvel at and enjoy.
from center

Lake Carezza (Karer See | Lago di Carezza) in the Eggental Valley is famous for its extraordinary colors and is therefore also called “Lec de Ergobando” – the Rainbow Lake. Measuring around 300 meters in length and 140 meters in width, it is one of South Tyrol’s most renowned natural gems. The lake is fed by underground springs from the Latemar massif, which causes its size and depth to vary greatly depending on the season and weather conditions.

The medium circular route starts at Lake Carezza, crosses the suspension bridge towards the holiday settlement, and then continues through an idyllic forest area back to the starting point at the lake. In addition to Lake Carezza itself, the suspension bridge, built in 2018 as a connection to the Karersee | Carezza settlement, is another special highlight for visitors.

As a protected natural monument, Lake Carezza deserves special respect. It is important to observe the designated protection boundaries so that the beauty of this unique mountain lake can be preserved for future generations.
