Lake Braies circular trail

The starting point is the Hotel Lake Braies, from where the tour begins along the left bank. Right at the beginning, on a jetty, there is a boat rental. A romantic canoe trip across the emerald-green Lake Braies promises a special experience. But this pleasure is reserved for others, as the path continues along an inviting hiking trail directly along the lake shore. The path becomes narrower and is criss-crossed by roots as it leads to the narrowest part of the lake, where the Pragser Wildsee reveals itself in all its splendor.

There are always idyllic places to take a break along the shore. The hiking trail moves away from the lake for a short distance, its green hue shimmering through the trees, until you reach a picnic area equipped with benches and tables. Now the most exciting part of the hike begins: the path becomes narrower, hugs a steep rock face and leads high above the lake, offering unique views.

Towards the southern end, the path follows a few hairpin bends back down to the lake level, and the beaches on the southern shore are reached, where there is also a toilet available. After passing the beaches, the path widens again. From the western shore, there is a view of the path opposite, which winds its way under the rocks. On the way back, past a chapel, you return to the Hotel Lake Braies, where there are again numerous opportunities for a rest.
