3. Lake Karersee
In South Tyrol, there is a wonderful alpine lake which is one of the major tourist destinations and that lake is called Lake Karersee.
The lake has green water which gives an amazing view and you could see many divers who like spending time in the lake and make documentaries.
I loved the sunset and sunrise, it is so soothing to the eyes. If you want to take beautiful pictures, come early morning.
