Every year, the weather in South Tyrol offers many sunny days. Especially in the Southern area, sun lovers will look forward to a few natural or artificial bathing lakes. Their shores are a paradise for families and relaxation seekers.
One of the biggest and most famous bathing lakes in South Tyrol is Lake Kaltern. Moreover, the picturesque Lakes of Montiggl beautifully integrate themselves in the surrounding woods of Eppan and environs. Other bathing lakes are Lake Wolfsgruben and Lake Fennberg.
In the more distant green valley of Pustertal, you can find many other lakes, such as those in Toblach, Antholz and Prags. In fact, if you would like to have a bath here, you should be very courageous and do not be afraid of freezing water.
Wind conditions permitting, many lakes are ideal for other outdoor activities such as wind or kitesurfing. In fact, a well-known location is Lake Reschen in Graun in Vinschgau, from which emerges an ancient church tower, the most important landmark of this area.
