웰슈노펜 - 노바 레반테‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

The Christomannos eagle is a large artistic work in bronze, dedicated to Theodor Christomannos, the Austrian considered one of the pioneers of tourism in the Dolomites. It is a majestic eagle about three meters high positioned in a wonderful panoramic point: from here, in fact, at an altitude of 2,300 metres, you can see a beautiful piece of Val di Fassa and above all the Pale di San Martino and the Marmolada in all their beauty.

It is best to be there before 8 a.m. or after 6 p.m., otherwise you have to queue for a photo

Unfortunately, almost all bike paths are paved...

Incredibly beautiful spot for the giant eagle figure. As expected, the place is a crowd puller. It is best to plan a little more time here. A bench invites you to take a break. The rock on the eagle that is enthroned has now been polished completely smooth by the many photo hunters.

Very nice area for biking and hiking, there are numerous opportunities to stop off.

Don't forget your bathing suit! Changing rooms are available, as is a newly designed, beautiful bistro/cafe

This striking bronze eagle is reminiscent of Dr. Theodor Christomannos, a passionate mountaineer and pioneer, who played a decisive role in the tourist development of this area. His life's work was the expansion of the famous Dolomite Road from Welschnofen to Cortina.

From the SS241 that connects Nova Levante to Vigo di Fassa you can reach the Karersee - Lago di Carezza Visitor Center. Large paid parking (1 € / h). From the parking lot, follow the signs for the lake and take the pedestrian underpass, the setting up of which aims to recall the history and mythology of the Latemar forest and to present the particularities of the wood obtained from it. Once at the viewing platform you can admire one of the most beautiful lakes in the Dolomites, surrounded by splendid fir woods (or what remains of it after the passage of the Vaia storm). Its crystalline waters reflect the Latemar massif, the solitary mountain, which finds its peak in the 2,846 m of Cimon del Latemar. Lake Carezza, fed by underground springs, develops a width of about 300 m and a maximum depth of 22 m which varies according to the season and weather conditions. The best months to visit it are May, June and July, when it reaches its maximum expansion. In the other months it usually decreases significantly.
