Nature enthusiasts who visit Val d’Ega should not miss the picturesque Lago di Carezza near the Passo di Costalunga/Karerpass. The view to this only 300 m long and 140 m broad lake and its backdrop, the steeply rising Latemar, will take your breath away.

It was here in Val d’Ega that German author Karl May was inspired to write his novel “Durchs wilde Kurdistan“(“Through the wild Kurdistan”).
