Highlight circular hike: Lake Carezza - Latemar rock labyrinth - Eggental Mountain Cinema Latemar meadows - Passo Costalunga
The circular hike begins by crossing the suspension bridge built in 2018. The trail continues to the turquoise Lake Carezza, especially beautiful in the morning light. It then leads through the mystical Latemar Forest. After that, you scramble over rocks and roots through the impressive rock labyrinth beneath the Latemar. On the Latemar meadows, you reach the Eggental Mountain Cinema, offering breathtaking views of the Rosengarten and Latemar peaks. After taking in the panorama, a relaxing break at the Latmor Alm is highly recommended – perfect for resting and enjoying the view. The hike then continues up to the Karer Pass, the highest point of the route.
Note – trail [21] has some fallen trees to cross.
And then the breathtaking panorama unique in the world of the giants of the Dolomites, the Rosengarten/Catinaccio and the Latemar.
An adventurous hike in the midst of pure nature!
Attention: There are fallen trees along path [21].
