The climb is worth it

The Seekofel (Italian: Croda del Becco) towers imposingly at 2,810 meters above Lake Braies and dominates the lake's panorama, especially on the north side. From the lakeshore, especially along the western shore and around the boat rentals, an iconic view awaits: the emerald-green water reflects the steep mountain and the surrounding Dolomites, a classic postcard motif. For mountain hikers, the Seekofel is also accessible via the Dolomites High Route No. 1. The ascent requires surefootedness and good fitness, but is rewarded with a breathtaking panorama: a deep-blue lake, striking Dolomite peaks such as the Three Peaks and the Marmolada, as well as the surrounding valleys. The view of the Seekofel is thus a scenic highlight of Lake Braies, both from the shore and from the summit.

Great path around the lake with ever-changing views of Seekofel and Co. It is best to travel by bus (line 442) and in the morning there are still very few visitors.

Unfortunately a very crowded area. We were there in September and the full parking spaces upstairs are off-putting. In the high season it is not possible to drive up by car. As soon as you move away from the main paths, it becomes quieter. In particular, the plateau next to the Strudelkopf is quiet and not as crowded as the summit itself. From the meadows on the plateau you can see the Three Peaks, the Rienz Valley in front of it and the gigantic mountain world of the Dolomites.

I was served the worst buckwheat cake ever here. Terrible.

Nice Refuge, reachable by at least three different routes, from the easiest (Ponticello) to the most difficult climb from Cima Banche (S2 / S3), sliding from Carbonin.

It is the largest natural lake in the Dolomites, formed following a landslide, whose banks served as a film set for the Rai television series "A step from the sky"
