This winter hike leads from the Karerpass | Passo Costalunga through the Latemar forest, to the impressive Lake Carezza, framed by a picturesque Dolomite backdrop.
The hike leads from the Karerpass | Passo Costalunga first into the Latemar forest, where the hazel tree grows, which is used especially for the production of string instruments. For this reason, the wood has also been called ‘tonewood’. From the Latemar forest you reach the Lake Carezza (Karer See | Lago di Carezza), which is considered one of the most magnificent alpine lakes in the Dolomites and is surrounded by a special mountain backdrop.
