The lake is in the depth of the enchanted forests with the stunning Brenta Dolomites as a backdrop, so you can only imagine how incredible it is.
It’s emerald green water is something you’ll never forget, especially in autumn season with the contrast of the red and orange leaves.
This is rated one of the best lakes in Trentino and rightly so!
