Italy Lake Carezza, Dolomites
The Lake of Carezza (It: Lago di Carezza, De: Karersee) is a beautiful lake in the Dolomites in South Tyrol. The deep blue and green colors of this lake with the mountain massif in the background make this a great place for photographers.
Photography Tips
Take a Polarizer with you, because the lake offers some great visual structure beyond the surface, adding some nice additional details to your photo. You might probably combine the polarizer with an ND filter to get an even cleaner surface.
If you want to take your photo from the wooden platform, make sure to wait until nobody is nearby, because the movements will result in shaking planks.

Travel Information
There is a parking near the lake. The parking is paying, there are some parking spots along the road which are free, but mostly taken.
Don't be tempted to jump the barrier around the lake. It's forbidden and it harms the delicate flora. There is a nice walking trail around the lake though you might want to walk, the best perspective for photos is probably the initial view though with the mountains in the background.
During normal day hours, expect the place to be crowded.
