Description Turn-by-turn directions How to get there

Circular hike from Welschnofen to the Karer See with its emerald-green water and Dolomite backdrop.

This circular hike leads from Welschnofen along a shaded forest path following the Welschnofen brook to the Karer See, considered one of the most splendid Alpine lakes, especially known for its deep green water and the beautiful mountain backdrop. The return path to Welschnofen follows the historic "Herrensteig", from which there are repeated views of the village of Welschnofen and the peaks of the Latemar range.
