Short description

An incomparable jewel of the Dolomites: high above Lake Prags

Route description

Hiking couldn't be more beautiful: let yourself be enchanted by a fairytale landscape.

Starting point of the tour

Lake Prags

Destination point of the tour

Seekofel (2,810 m)

Route description

Right at the start of our hike along the western shore of the lake, your eyes will be immersed in the emerald green water of the lake and at the same time seduced by the sheer size of the surrounding Dolomite walls.  Always following trail no. 1, you will come to a fork after a good quarter of an hour: The path now leads over quite steep scree fields to the Dolomite High Trail running south-eastwards. We reach the "Nabige Loch" at the south-east foot of the Seekofel and continue to the "Törl" summit not far from the Seekofel hut. We take a short rest there before taking the somewhat difficult to recognise path to the top of the Seekofel. Once we reach the top, we are overwhelmed: by the view of Lake Prags, the view of the wild and romantic Pragser Valley and the picture-book panorama of the Fanes-Sennes-Prags Nature Park. It doesn't get any better than this.
