Adventurous hike from Lake Carezza through the Latemar forest into the Latemar rock labyrinth, with gorges, passages, and spectacular views of the Latemar.

A mighty rockslide long ago created a mysterious world of boulders at the foot of the Latemar. This adventurous hike begins at the enchanting Lake Carezza and leads through the Latemar forest, famous for its valuable resonance wood used in instrument making, up to the panoramic viewpoint of the Mitterleger | Radura di Mezzo and into the Latemar Labyrinth. Here, the trail winds past bizarre rock formations, narrow gorges, and stone passages where you sometimes need to use your hands for support. Along the way, breathtaking views of both the Latemar and the Rosengarten | Catinaccio constantly open up. A hiking experience full of discovery and adventure.
