Rank : 8.0 (average on 1 votes)

Coordinates : 46.75930799593294, 10.53677966122882 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Throughout the summer there are: great grebes, dippers, coots, moorhens, mallards, ducks and a pair of swans; in spring and autumn you can find different species of ducks that stop for a few days and then leave, in spring in one case I happened to see even 2 waders. Around the lake there are also many non-aquatic birds especially passerines but not only.

Recommended equipment : Canvases at least 500mm long equivalent for most subjects (coots, swans and mallards are more confident and even a shorter canvas is fine), also wanting a wide-angle lens to photograph the alpine panorama.

Best months : Except in the winter when the lake freezes except for a few pools in which only a few mallards remain all year round, particularly interesting in spring and autumn during migrations.

How to get there : Get to the end of the mebo in Lagundo and then take the Val Venosta road (to the Reschen Pass) continue on the road to San Valentino alla Muta (almost at the top of the valley), park either in the initial area (there is a paid parking lot towards the lake or one with a time disc it seems to me 90 minutes on the opposite side of the road) or a little later where there is a free parking lot that overlooks the lake (but in summer it can be full).

Visits : There is no entrance there is simply a path that runs along the lake so no timetable.

Notes : There is a shed but it is not in an area where birds are often found. The path is not hidden from the sight of the birds that therefore often remain quite distant. In the morning the sun comes out quite early because it rises from the side of the valley while in the evening it disappears quickly because it sets on the side of the mountain just behind the lake.
