The Pragser Wildsee in the Dolomites, Italy

In every season, Pragser Wildsee enchants travellers with its ever-changing allure. The lake, also known as Lago di Braies, is nestled in the Italian Dolomites in Fanes Senes Braies Nature Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This enchanting lake is surrounded by mountains, with an elevation of 1,469 metres above sea level and boasting a maximum depth of 36 metres.
