Nature gives of her best in the Dolomites, making a mirror for the mountains in the turquoise Pragser Wildsee Lake, creating habitats for numerous animal species through the diversity of the flora: rodents, amphibians, as well as birds of prey such as golden eagles can all be found. All five nature parks possess an inspiring natural charm: Schlern-Rosengarten, Puez-Geisler, Fanes-Sennes-Prags, Rieserferner-Ahrn and of course the Drei Zinnen, the symbol of the Dolomites. At their feet rises the River Rienz, which then meanders through the Puster Valley. The quirks of nature can be seen in the “ice holes” at San Giorgio, in the earth pyramids at Terento or Collepietra and at the peak of the Hochleist, where glaciers have formed a rock pillar. Europe’s largest Alpine pasture, the Seiser Alm, features undulating carpets of meadows. Colossal, powerful, even weird: the Dolomites are simply enchanting.
