Circular lake hike to Lake Carezza and Lake Mittersee - Description

Did you know that Lake Carezza has a little brother?
It is the lake Mittersee, a secret lake in the middle of the forest that only exists for a short time in the spring months (May-June). A meadow then fills with 8° cool meltwater and disappears again around July.
As long as the lake is there, however, it is a true natural spectacle and an insider's tip. The very brave even dare to jump into the cool water or go for a ride on a raft.
This hike, which is very suitable for families, also leads to the Lake Carezza and the suspension bridge and offers a wonderful view of the Rosengarten | Catinaccio and Latemar mountains.
