The round of the Reschensee is a special experience for hikers and runners. The wonderful views of the Ortler is unique. The tower in the lake completes the picture. He is the last witness of the sunken village of Graun which can live the story.
Start/finish: historic church tower in Graun (large parking area).
Route: from the tower, follow the eastern shore counterclockwise towards St. Valentin auf der Haide. At the southern shore, cross the dam wall. The return follows the quieter western shore via Kaschon to Reschen and finally along the northern shore back to Graun.
Characteristics: approx. 15.3 km, mostly asphalt or well-maintained gravel, with almost no elevation gain. Ideal for running, Nordic walking or relaxed hiking.
