Short circular route at Karer See with a fairy-tale view of the Latemar and an impressive play of colors. The visitor center with a bistro and souvenir shop completes the visit.
The colorful Karer See in the Eggental is the famous fairy-tale lake of the Dolomites, where, according to legend, a water nymph lives and in whose crystal-clear water the Rosengarten and Latemar are reflected. Karer See changes its color, which is why it is also called Lec de Ergobando - Rainbow Lake. Karer See is 300 m long and 140 m wide and lies below the Latemar massif at the edge of the Latemar forest at 1,520 m in the Eggental. It is a protected natural monument and is fed by underground springs from the Latemar, so both its size and depth are highly dependent on the season and weather - the greatest depth of Karer See was recorded at 22 m.

As a protected natural monument, Karer See deserves special respect. It is important to observe the designated protection boundaries so that the beauty of this unique mountain lake is preserved for the future.

An on-site visitor center invites souvenir hunters and the curious, and the bistro offers refreshment for hungry hikers. Curious visitors can view Karer See from all sides on the circular hiking trail.
