The nature reserve covers a surface of 25,453 ha and parts of the municipal areas of Toblach, Prags, Olang, Abtei, Enneberg and Wengen. Lake Prags and Plätzwiese have long ceased to be insider tips; magnificent photo spots can be found in many other places at Nature Park Fanes-Sennes-Prags as well. The eponymous plateaus of Fanes and Sennes are exciting contrasts to the impressive peaks of the Dolomites. Lake Limo or the Armentara meadows are a highlight for nature fans with dreamlike Dolomites’ panoramas, where you can see wild orchids with a little luck.
Mt. Heiligkreuzkofel is 2,907 m high and is well-known among hikers and climbers.
