Krarer Lake

Lake Carezza, in Italian Lago di Carezza, is one of the most impressive mountain lakes in South Tyrol and a popular stop for all those traveling through the Dolomites in a convertible. Nestled between the Latemar massif and the Rosengarten, this emerald-green lake lies at about 1,520 meters above sea level – a place that appears like a painting due to its intense color and fairy-tale backdrop. Especially in the morning or late afternoon, the Dolomite panorama reflects on its surface – a sight that remains unforgettable.

Traveling with enjoyment: Curves, passes, and panoramic views

Those arriving by convertible enjoy the drive over the Niger Pass or the Carezza Pass – both panoramic roads that, with their winding route and surrounding mountain world, are perfect for pleasurable driving. From Bolzano, the road gently winds its way up into the Dolomites, past lush meadows, dense forests, and imposing rock formations. Even the journey here is an experience: The switch between serpentine roads, short straights, and viewpoints provides driving fun and many photo opportunities.

Magic of water, light, and legend

Lake Carezza is not only a visual highlight but also deeply rooted in the South Tyrolean world of legends. According to legend, a water nymph is said to have lived here, who was tempted by a wizard with a rainbow – which ultimately shattered in the lake, giving it its mystical colors. Even today, the water shimmers green, turquoise, or deep blue depending on the light – a natural spectacle that radiates tranquility and fascinates at the same time.

A short walk around the lake is a must, as those with motor vehicles can comfortably connect their tour with a detour to the nearby Welschnofen or further into the Eggental. Along the way, rustic mountain huts or small inns invite guests to stop by – serving specialties such as speck dumplings or apple strudel.

Mountain lake magic for convertible fans

Lake Carezza is an ideal destination or stop on a convertible tour through the Dolomites. Whether as a romantic highlight, a photo opportunity, or simply to catch your breath in the fresh mountain air – this place combines tranquility, nature, and driving pleasure in perfect harmony.
