The Lake Carezza in Val d'Ega is famous because of its beautiful colors and therefore it is often called Lec de Ergobando - Rainbow Lake. It is 300 metres long and 140 metres wide. The Lake Carezza is fed by underground springs from the Latemar, which is why its size and depth are heavily influenced by the season and the weather - so don't worry, the Lake Carezza will not dry up. The lake is a protected natural landmark - therefore it is important to treat it with respect and not to exceed the protection limits, so the beauty of this special lake will remain for a long time.
