Lake Braies (Italian: Lago di Braies) lies at an altitude of approximately 1,500 meters in the Prags Valley, a side valley of the Puster Valley. It is considered one of the most beautiful lakes in the region and is often called the "Pearl of the Dolomites" due to its clear, emerald green to turquoise-blue shimmering water. Surrounded by steep rock faces and dense forests, the lake offers an impressive natural backdrop and is one of the most photographed motifs in South Tyrol. It is approximately 1.2 kilometers long, up to 36 meters deep, and can be circumnavigated on foot in about an hour on a scenic circular path. Excursions in traditional wooden rowboats are particularly popular in summer, lending the lake a romantic character. In addition to its scenic beauty, the lake also has historical significance, as it was the scene of a liberation of concentration camp prisoners during World War II. An information panel about this is located at the entrance to the Chapel of St. Mary.

Here, at the foot of the Three Peaks, the Rienz river has its source at an altitude of 2180 m. In its upper reaches, the river initially crosses protected areas in the Three Peaks Nature Park and the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park, namely the short Rienz valley and then the Höhlenstein valley.

Beautiful hiking trail through the Rastenbach Gorge over many steps. Various viewpoints, waterfalls and a hiking trail along the stream make the effort worthwhile.

It's a dream how the lake is nestled in front of the Seekofel. A great opportunity for a circular hike.

A beautiful view of the Three Peaks

High waterfalls, the rustic bridges and wooden walkways, the lush deciduous forest covered with mosses and ivy, which creates a jungle feeling, the steep stairs and steps and the flatter sections that invite you to play by the water, guarantee an exciting experience along the Altenburgerbach .
