The biotope is characterized by forest, marsh plants, and especially the presence of insects, birds and amphibians, but there are also reptiles and small mammals. Also interesting is the landscape as a whole. The surroundings are centers of great interest for both tourism and landscape that photo (Abbeys, Brixen and Klausen, Castle Velturno, Val Pusteria etc ...)Recommended equipment : Complete outfit, especially if you intend to use the landscape in all senses, including visits in the surrounding area. Telephoto, macro teppiede and equipment if you intend focussing on the nature and photograph birds.Best months : From May to October View news section VISITSHow to get there : On the highway, after taking the Milan-Venice, Verona we turn on the Modena-Brenner exit Bressanone-ValPusteria (alternatively, you can take the Milan Venice to Peschiera del Garda, then take the link road to Affi and entering here on Modena Brenner, exit Bressanone). From the exit Bressanone-ValPusteria follow the signs Varna, Varna Lake, Camping Vahrnersee, Hotel-restaurant-bar "Zum Vahrnersee" after passing through the industrial zone of Varna, passing under the highway and the railroad in a narrow tunnel , we arrive at a level where there is parking on the left, in front of the camp and on the right and the road with directions to the restaurant and the pool. After the restaurant, starts the forest road that leads to the sights of the lake, tracing around the perimeter with the possibility of deviations and trekking, rest and relaxation, and returning to the parking lot.Visits : The lake of Varna is a biotope particular delicate balance: the explanatory signs at the entrance of their reasons and explain the flora and fauna of the wetlands in the mountains, visible mainly from May to October. Probably the pond freezes in winter, but I have not been in that season, so I can not give exact directions. I do not even know if access to the pond is feasible. The best season to visit is from May (I have visited in this period) in September, taking into account that the months of July and August have registered a significant influx of tourists, which disturbs the animals and the photographic work of the following birdwatching or looking for butterflies, insects, amphibians. And 'advisable to attend the area in the early morning or at dusk. Access to the lake is not paid, but may be regulated (zones) with opening and closing of access, although I do not remember about the specific signs. The whole area, however, is of considerable interest: Varna is home to the Abbey of Neustift and its gardens, vineyards and orchards and Bressanone is a real treat for the tourist and the photographer. Even Closed, with its abbey, situated on a hilltop, it is very interesting tourist and photographically. Velturno, above Klausen, has a beautiful castle for domestic purposes. Not far from Varna, on the road leading from Bressanone in Val Pusteria, there is another pond visited similar to that of Varna: Rasa is the starting point.Notes : | | Nearby:   Bressanone 6 km
