The legendary Karersee, also often referred to as the "fairytale lake of the Dolomites" or "Rainbow Lake", enchants due to its emerald green color and can be explored as part of a circular hike. According to legend, a water nymph once lived here. The sorcerer of Masaré fell in love with her and a witch advised him to disguise himself as a jeweler and strike a rainbow from the Rosengarten to the Latemar to win the favor of the water nymph. However, he forgot his disguise and was discovered by the nymph, who then disappeared in the lake. In anger, the sorcerer threw the jewels and pieces of the rainbow into the lake, so that it still shines in rainbow colors today.

The Dürrenstein is one of the most popular viewpoint mountains in the Dolomites and those who take on the roughly two-hour climb are rewarded with a spectacular panorama. Of course, a hike in the early morning is particularly recommended to enjoy the wonderful sunrise.
