Prags - Braies

The small town of Braies is peacefully situated in the lush green Braies Dolomites. Galant he will lead you through his unique, fairytale landscape, through legends and legends to the paradisiacal Lake Braies.

The small town of Braies is famous for many things: Beautiful natural jewels adorn the surroundings, mountain bikers race through the Dolomiti Superbike mountain and valley every year, but also known as an enticement for famous guests like the movie star Terence Hill, who shot the famous Italian series "The Mountain Police - Quite Close to the Sky" (orig."Un passo dal cielo") here. Situated in the middle of the seemingly unreal karstic landscape of the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park in the Alta Pusteria Valley, deep shafts, winding depressions, narrow crevasses and the basins of the Dolomites merge, together with the almost exotic looking plants like blue grass, dragonmouth, dolomite yarrow, purslane and evergreen sedge to a very varied and fascinating scenery. Among them are 2 true natural treasures: Lake Braies and Prato Piazza.

Impressively and sublime, the 2,810-metre-high Pragser Seekofel rises up into the sky and watches over one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in South Tyrol, the emerald green, paradisiacal Lake Braies - an extremely attractive destination for local cyclists, walkers and hikers as well as for countless, returning tourists.
The impressive karstic giants Tofana, Monte Cristallo, Drei Zinnen and Hohe Gaisl surround the spacious Prato Piazza. At the time of the First World War, there was a hard-fought front line here and left a bricked-up witness of the wartime with the Austro-Hungarian work "Prato Piazza". Today, it also invites you to a wide range of leisure activities all year round, such as hiking, cross-country skiing or simply relaxing. From here you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Braies Dolomites or take a tour to the historical spas Bad Altprags and Bad Neuprags.
