On the way home from the Dolomites to Lake Constance we made a short detour to Lago di Braies to walk around this beautifully situated lake. The view from the boat hire house in particular is magnificent. At the far end of the lake I sent the drone up once more. The lake lies in the Prags valley at the foot of the Seekofel; it has become so popular that up to 17,000 people came on summer days, and access by car has been restricted since 2023. Here are the last pictures of our Dolomites tour.
