マレッベ-エネベルク-マレッベの湖・トップ20

The western shore of Lake Wildsee is the most easily accessible area for visitors of all ages. The well-developed section of the circular trail here allows for barrier-free strolls and child-friendly short excursions.

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.

Wonderful view, it is one of the largest parks in South Tyrol.

The Seekofel (Italian: Croda del Becco) towers imposingly at 2,810 meters above Lake Braies and dominates the lake's panorama, especially on the north side. From the lakeshore, especially along the western shore and around the boat rentals, an iconic view awaits: the emerald-green water reflects the steep mountain and the surrounding Dolomites, a classic postcard motif. For mountain hikers, the Seekofel is also accessible via the Dolomites High Route No. 1. The ascent requires surefootedness and good fitness, but is rewarded with a breathtaking panorama: a deep-blue lake, striking Dolomite peaks such as the Three Peaks and the Marmolada, as well as the surrounding valleys. The view of the Seekofel is thus a scenic highlight of Lake Braies, both from the shore and from the summit.

The boat rental at Lake Braies, known as "La Palafitta," is located on the eastern shore of the emerald-green mountain lake in the Dolomites and rents exclusively traditional wooden rowboats, handcrafted by a family business. The season typically runs from mid-May to the end of October, with longer opening hours during the summer months. A trip usually lasts 45 minutes and costs either around €15 per person in a shared boat or around €50–€55 for a private boat with up to five people. Reservations are not possible for regular trips, so arriving early is recommended, especially during peak season, to avoid long waits. Exclusive offers such as photo shoots or romantic elopement packages can be booked in advance. Arrival is possible by car or bus; during peak season, the road into the Braies Valley is closed during the day, and access reservations are required. If you want to experience the lake in a tranquil setting, you should visit in spring or fall, or start early in the morning when the water is particularly calm and the mountain backdrop is at its most impressive.
