Italy Lago di Limides
Lago Limides is a beautiful little lake in the Dolomites. It's really a gem within a gorgeous landscape at Passo di Falzerego.
Important info: It can happen that the lake loses its water or is completely empty during dry periods (mostly in winter season).

Photography Tips
The spot is great during sunset, especially at golden hour when some golden clouds are around the mountain peaks.
There are many different viewpoints around the lake so be early and check some views before the golden hour.

Travel Information
You can park (for free) at Rifugio Col Gallina. From there you have to take a short but tough hike up the mountain.
There are two ways:
1. The way that goes up behind Rifugio Col Gallina. But this path is very steep.
2. A walking track though the forest that I recommend: From the parking place go south towards the forest, there are signs to Lago Limides. I highly recommend Hiking Poles.
Walking time for both ways are around 20-30 minutes.
