Lago di Tovel

Trentino-Alto Adige

Lago di Tovel was famous for centuries for turning blood-red each summer — an algal bloom phenomenon that ended mysteriously in 1964. Now a crystal-clear lake in the Brenta park, its circuit passes beech woods and rock walls. The legend of the fairy Moena who drowned here is still told.
