Lake Braies (Italian: Lago di Braies) lies at an altitude of approximately 1,500 meters in the Prags Valley, a side valley of the Puster Valley. It is considered one of the most beautiful lakes in the region and is often called the "Pearl of the Dolomites" due to its clear, emerald green to turquoise-blue shimmering water. Surrounded by steep rock faces and dense forests, the lake offers an impressive natural backdrop and is one of the most photographed motifs in South Tyrol. It is approximately 1.2 kilometers long, up to 36 meters deep, and can be circumnavigated on foot in about an hour on a scenic circular path. Excursions in traditional wooden rowboats are particularly popular in summer, lending the lake a romantic character. In addition to its scenic beauty, the lake also has historical significance, as it was the scene of a liberation of concentration camp prisoners during World War II. An information panel about this is located at the entrance to the Chapel of St. Mary.
