The Mirror of the Ice Queen
Lake Carezza, also known as Lago di Carezza, is undoubtedly one of the most enchanting places in the South Tyrolean Dolomites and is admired by visitors at any time of year. But in winter, when the landscape is already covered in snow and the cold is in the air, the lake reveals another fascinating secret: the "Mirror of the Ice Queen."
The formation of this natural phenomenon begins when temperatures fall continuously below freezing. The clear, ice-cold waters of Lake Kar freeze and form a smooth, mirror-like surface. This icy blanket has the amazing property of magically reflecting the surrounding world.
The Dolomites, rising majestically on the horizon, become a detailed, clear and precise reflection on the frozen surface of the lake. The snow-covered peaks that show themselves in this mirror seem almost tangible. It is as if the mountains themselves are resting on the lake and are reflected in the clear water.
This natural phenomenon fascinates visitors and creates an incomparable atmosphere. The "Mirror of the Ice Queen" is far more than just a sight; it is an experience that transports people into an enchanted world. Photographers gather to capture the unique beauty of this place and nature lovers admire the harmonious connection between the icy lake and the majestic mountain peaks.
During the winter months, visitors from all over the world flock to Lake Karer to experience the "Mirror of the Ice Queen" in all its glory. It is a time when nature plays the leading role and transports visitors to a magical and peaceful world. The reflection of the Dolomites on the frozen surface of the lake tells a story of natural wonder and timeless beauty.
