The Karersee ( Italian Lago di Carezza , Ladin Lech de Ciareja ) is located below the Karerpass at the foot of the Latemar massif in South Tyrol ( Italy ). It is a protected natural monument .

The lake is located in the western Dolomites in the Latemar Forest in the Upper Eggen Valley , almost 20 kilometers south-east of Bozen at an altitude of 1520 m in the municipality of Nova Levante . The nearest settlement is Carezza . The approximately 300 m long and 140 m wide body of water is fed by underground springs from the Latemar mountain range. The depth and size of the lake are noticeably dependent on the season and the weather, with the maximum depth being around 22 m. In winter, the lake is sometimes visited by divers who conduct their dives under a thick layer of ice and in documentariescapture the underwater play of colors. The small mountain lake is famous above all for its deep green water and the mountain scenery rising above the surrounding forest with the Latemar group in the south and the Rosengarten in the north-east as a background. Many South Tyrolean legends are entwined around the lake , and numerous painters and writers chose the motif for their paintings or stories.
