In the fourth stage of our journey, after traveling another 20 minutes, we reach the extreme north-east of Italy a few kilometers from the border with Austria for a visit to the famous lake of Braies. It is considered one of the most famous and photographed lakes of the Italian peninsula. It is an emerald-coloured basin of water, surrounded by the peaks of the Dolomites.
Lake Braies is known for its clear blue-green waters, surrounded by a spectacular landscape of towering peaks, dense forests and flowery meadows. The lake has a depth of 36 meters and is fed by numerous small streams that descend from the surrounding mountains.
All in all, Lake Braies is a must-see destination for anyone traveling to the Dolomites or South Tyrol, offering a unique blend of natural beauty, outdoor recreation and cultural heritage.
