Lake Carezza, picture-perfect, lies below the Latemar massif on the edge of the Latemar forest, in the Eggental valley municipality of Welschnofen. This picturesque lake is known far and wide: located at 1,520 metres above sea level near the village of Carezza, below the Karerpass, it is easily accessible by bus, mountain bike, ski lift or hiking trail – so you can leave your car behind.
Its enchanting, ever-changing waters gleam, the colours ranging from emerald-green to yellow. For this reason – and of course also thanks to the legend of the “Water Nymph of Lake Carezza” – it is known in Ladin as the “Lech de l'ercaboan”, the Rainbow Lake.
