Lake Tobbiaco is in a place called Bolzano. That place is full of local tourists and cute dogs! That place is almost adjacent to Austria, so you probably won't go there when you travel, but it was such a pretty place..ㅎ The second and third pictures are of Lake Carezza?? This is also in Bolzano. The color of the water is so incredibly pretty! Before going to Venice, I went to a place called Ortisei. I drove there and was really surprised!!

Location: 8FRHCH5G+M2 Entrance Fee: Free This is the emerald-colored Lake Carezza located in Bolzano, Italy. It's even more beautiful in person. You can take a bus from Bolzano to get there, so keep that in mind! I highly recommend taking a walk around the lake. The weather in this area can be quite unpredictable, so make sure to bring a windbreaker or similar clothing:)

Visiting Lake Karezza was an enchanting experience. The beautiful turquoise water surrounded by towering mountains creates a breathtaking view. Walking around the lake was enjoyable, as the color of the water changed with the reflection of the mountains. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, which made me feel at ease. I stopped by a nearby café for a snack, and the local cuisine was delicious and full of flavor. I recommend everyone to visit Lake Karezza to enjoy the natural beauty and tranquility it offers. It's an unforgettable destination! 🏞️💧

Karersee, located in the Dolomites of Italy, is a high-altitude alpine lake renowned for its emerald-like waters, resembling a green gem in the forest. Under the sunlight, the lake sparkles with a captivating green hue, drawing people closer. Surrounded by towering peaks and layers of dense forests, the tranquil reflection on the lake's surface resembles an oil painting, making it mesmerizing. From Ortisei, it takes about an hour by car and around two hours by bus with a transfer; from Bolzano, it's just a 35-minute drive. A one-hour hike around the lake allows you to fully enjoy the 'Landscape Painting of the Emerald Lake'!

#EuropeTravel Lake Carissa The scenery deserves a fairy tale! We just arrived in the Dolomites and were already amazed by this scenery. My visit to Lake Carissa was a magical and impressive experience. When I got there, I was captivated by the natural beauty surrounding the lake. The blue waters of the chintz are reflected in the green banks, and the beautiful Dolomites surround it on all sides. I was able to explore the area by walking the beautiful trails surrounding the lake, enjoying the charming views and the fresh air. 📍 Lake Carezza 🇮🇹

#OverseasTravel My husband and I were a little skeptical because it was 3 hours away by train, but it was 100% worth it. We stayed overnight in Bolzano (the best city) and took the 180 bus from the bus stop (down the road from the train station) to the lake. We had no idea which bus to take or where to get off, but the bus driver was very friendly when we asked him :) For those who are curious or planning to go, here is what we did in detail: We took the train to Bolzano Pozan station, got off the train, and went straight to the bus stop (3 minutes walk across the street, take a left). We bought our bus tickets at the bus stop. Just tell them you are going to Lago de Carezza. Tickets are about 8 euros each. The 180 bus will take you there. We had to change buses at Ponte Nova, so make sure to let them know if you need to change or not. The bus stop is literally at the lake. There are a few clean cafes and bathhouses outside. There is an underground connection to the lake next to the cafe. A 20-30 minute walk around the lake. You can buy a bus ticket to go back to the bus right in front of the lake.

It was an unforgettable day in the Dolomites, accompanied by my dear friend @detojan. Waking up at 2.45 AM, we ventured to Carezza to witness the breathtaking sunrise that painted the sky with vibrant hues. Amongst the towering mountains, I captured this photo, one of my favorites from that magical morning. The sheer beauty of nature's awakening left us in awe and reminded us of the magnificence that surrounds us. The Dolomites have a capacity for wonder and surprise; that's why it remains so highly regarded by those who experience it. What do you think of this shot? Let's keep chasing these incredible moments together! 🧡🌄🏔️😍
