パウラーロの天然記念物・トップ20

The small reservoir at the Nassfeld pass is beautiful, but unfortunately overrun by camper vans and motorcyclists on weekends.

The Passo del Cason di Lanza is located in northern Friuli and connects the town of Pontebba in the east with the village of Paularo in the west. Pontebba lies on an old and still very important trade route: a railway and a highway connect Venice and Udine with Villach and Klagenfurt in neighboring Carinthia. While the railway now runs mostly through tunnels, Pontebba still has its train station, while for most other towns in the valley, the railway era is definitely over.

The Vorderer and Hinterer Lake Constance are one of the few remaining witnesses to the last Ice Age. Both lake basins were traversed by a glacier, which left a ground moraine on the lake floor. Halfway towards Nassfeld, a plateau known as the Pfaffenschwand stretches east of the Nassfeld federal highway, on which two lakes lie one behind the other: the Große (Vorderer) and the Kleine (Hinterer) Bodensee. On the way to Nassfeld, it's worth stopping at the Pfaffenschwand and enjoying the view of the mountain lakes with their deep blue hues amidst the spruce forest. Especially at midday, when the sun is at its highest, you can marvel at the play of colors on the two lakes even more!

Beautiful lake under the Avostanis peak, reachable from the (impracticable) asphalt road exposed to the sun.

…a good and easy to reach excursion destination 🥾👀

…you can get there by car 🚙 up to about 1520 m to Malga Promosio and from there you can continue comfortably to the lake 🥾

About halfway to Naßfeld there is another piece of nature where nature rules and not man. Trees lying in the water still allow new trees to grow. If there hasn't been any rain in the last few days, the water is crystal clear.

A small man-made lake right next to the border with a road and hiking trail around it. A beautiful place for taking photos, sitting and relaxing, and in winter for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
