View over Lake Carezza to the Latemar Massif in the Dolomites.
The small, clear mountain lake is also called Lec de Ergobando in Ladina because of its bright colour, which means rainbow lake.
Others call it a fairy-tale lake. A legend tells that a beautiful water maiden once lived in Lake Carezza. The sorcerer of Masaré fell in love with her.
To win her heart, the witch Lanwerda advised the master to disguise himself as a jeweller and to make a rainbow from the Rose Garden to the Latemar.
He followed this advice, but forgot to disguise himself.
Thus he was discovered by the water maiden, who disappeared forever in the lake.
The wizard was so angry that he threw the rainbow pieces and jewels into the lake.
This is the reason why the lake still shimmers in magnificent colours today. Even if it is only a legend, Lake Carezza shows its most beautiful side even without the many jewels of the alleged wizard.
Everyone who has the opportunity should therefore visit Lake Carezza once and admire the beauty of this lake, in the heart of the Dolomites. Lake Carezza is located in the municipal area of Nova Levante at an altitude of 1,520 metres above sea level.
Depending on the frequency and intensity of the precipitation, Lake Carezza has a water level of between 6.30 and about 22 metres.
