モッジョ・ウディネーゼの湖・トップ20

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

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!

The southern ascent begins on the SP110 coming from Via Guiseppe Mazzini. The first part leads relatively sharply up along the river before crossing it and turning right. From here, things really get going. Following several bends and straights, you reach a bridge after about 3.8 to 4 km and change from the west to the east flank of the mountain. Here you come to a relatively dark passage in a tunnel, but lights are recommended. Shortly after that, there is a second, unlit but very short tunnel. Shortly after that, you change back to the west flank. From here, a winding ascent begins with lots of bends, which repeatedly offers different perspectives back. The only problem here is the gradient of over 9 percent and more, so that (unfortunately) you tend to look at your handlebars as you drive up the mountain and hope that it will finally end. It's a very nice drive up, with impressive rock faces appearing next to you as you follow the winding road past all sorts of monuments. Once you get to the top, you're glad you survived the mountain, as the local mountains are characterized by their lack of rhythm and steepness. At the top, there are various restaurants and a total of three possible pass signs: directly at the "Al Gallo Forcello" hotel, in the middle of the lake, which is located above, and at the former border crossing.

The descent towards Tröpolach was tackled in pouring rain, which is why the impressions may be somewhat influenced. The asphalt is very nice, with a few bends in the upper section with good asphalt and a view towards the valley. However, as you speed up towards Tröpolach, you mainly ride through wooded areas, so you don't get much of a view. Instead, you whiz down long straights with easily visible waves, interrupted by a few bends in the lower section, in downhill style. The asphalt varies between good and brittle. There is also more traffic on the north side, as the upper Nassfeld seems to be a popular destination for day trippers.

Wonderful, even ascent from the south, without any significant difficulties!👍

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.

This clear water is very rare in the limestone area..., the only equivalent that comes to mind is the Meerauge in Windisch Bleiberg..., a dead ice water event...
