ウンターティリアッハの湖・トップ14

Beautiful and tranquil lake with a stunning mountain backdrop.

Small church dedicated to the owners of the old refuge of the Laghi d'Olbe now completely destroyed. Open 24 hours a day, it offers an excellent shelter on days with the coldest temperatures and some interesting photographic perspectives for the most passionate.

You are NOT allowed to swim here

...swimming is forbidden here...

The Olbe lakes are located in an enchanting Alpine setting, surrounded by emerald waters and grassy basins. The backdrop provided by the long Ferro ridge adds a superlative touch to this already extraordinary environment. Thin tracks on open ground connect the three lakes of glacial origin. I recommend climbing Mount Lastroni, a mountain rich in history, marked by the continuous presence of war evidence. The path leading to the mountain is a paradise for trail running, both uphill and downhill. The whole area was the Italian defensive line during the First World War. It is said that, after the defeat at Caporetto, to prevent a howitzer installed in the area from ending up in Austrian hands, it was thrown to the bottom of the largest lake. Dives in the 1970s brought various materials to the surface, but to date there is no trace of the howitzer.

The beautiful lake with a swimming area is too cold for me as a starting point for great hikes.

The Klapfsee is always an eye-catcher nestled in the high mountains.

Insanely beautiful lake in an incredible location. From here the path to the Portehütte is not far and is easily passable. Only the car traffic to the parking lot is annoying. Good refreshment option after a hike or bike tour.
