Lake Kaltern

Lake Kaltern is nestled amidst gentle vine hills, palm trees, cypress trees, and the impressive backdrop of the Dolomites – an ideal place for anyone wanting to explore South Tyrol's scenic diversity in a convertible. The journey along the South Tyrolean Wine Road, one of the oldest and most beautiful wine roads in Europe, is particularly impressive. It leads directly through Kaltern and promises not only a picturesque drive through vineyards and historic sites but also numerous opportunities to pause for a wine tasting or a culinary stop.

The region around Lake Kaltern offers the utmost enjoyment and freedom for convertible tours. Open roads, little traffic, and the interplay of Mediterranean climate and alpine freshness make every outing a pleasure. Even at the first glance at the lake – sparkling turquoise and lined with vines – it becomes clear why this place enchants so many people.

Between Vines, Castles, and Wineries

Lake Kaltern is directly located on the South Tyrolean Wine Road, which stretches from Nals to Salurn. The route is characterized by small wine villages like Tramin, Eppan, and the town of Kaltern itself, where winemaking has been practiced for centuries. Wineries, historic estates, and taverns line the route, and those traveling in convertibles can individually decide where a stop is worthwhile. Particularly worth seeing is the wine village of Kaltern, whose historic center invites visitors to stroll between wine cellars, cafes, and porticos.

A detour to the winding Mendel Road above Kaltern not only provides driving pleasure but also offers a great panoramic view over the Adige Valley. Those who prefer a quieter experience can stay by the lake and enjoy the water, whether swimming, boating, or taking a walk along the reed belt in the nature reserve.

Delight and View – Ideal for a Convertible Tour

Lake Kaltern is not only a destination for bathers and wine lovers – the region also offers a rare combination of relaxed driving dynamics, cultural highlights, and scenic beauty for convertible tours. Especially in spring and autumn, when the vineyards bloom or glow in gold tones, the drive along the South Tyrolean Wine Road is an unforgettable experience.

Whether it’s a hearty platter in a tavern, a fine drop of Kalterersee Auslese at sunset, or simply the unobstructed view from the convertible over the vine landscapes – here, southern zest for life, alpine freshness, and Italian flair come together in a unique way.
