It is a small alpine lake located in the high Val d'Ega at 1,534 m in the municipality of Nova Levante, about 25 km from Bolzano. It is set among dense fir woods and is located under the slopes of the Latemar massif, which is reflected in its crystalline water.
Geographical notes
The lake is known for its wonderful colors and for this reason in the Ladin language it is also called "Lec de Ergobando" (or "arcoboàn"), meaning "lake of the rainbow". The name of the lake derives, according to the Italian Touring Club Guide, from the "Caricaceae", a family of plants with broad lobed leaves. The lake has no visible tributaries and is fed by underground springs. Its extent and depth vary according to the season and weather conditions.
