Lake Misurina is the largest natural lake of the Cadore and it is 1,754 m above sea level, near Auronzo di Cadore. The lake's perimeter is 2.6 km long, while the maximum depth is 5 m.
According to a legend, Misurina is a little capricious and spiteful girl who lives literally held in the palm of the hand of her gigantic father, the king Sorapiss that, to fulfill another desire and obtain for her the magic mirror from the Queen of Monte Cristallo, he is transformed into a mountain. During the last stages of the transformation he sees his daughter fall and her tears flow like rivers and form the lake beneath which his daughter will forever lie with the magic mirror.

Giau Pass
Passo Giau (Giau Pass) is a high mountain pass in the Dolomites in the province of Belluno in Italy. It connects Cortina d'Ampezzo and Colle Santa Lucia. The location provides fantastic views but hardy accessible due to long and curvy roads from both ways, which lead there.
Santa Maddalena Valley
A truly epic view on Santa Maddalena village. According to a legend, this is the place where the miraculous image of Santa Maddalena was washed up by the Fopal river. This church, obviously with the Odle mountains in the background, is one of the most popular photo motifs of the Dolomites. It was quite hard to reach the spot, planned in advance, but well-worth the hassle.
The Toblacher See (Italian: Lago di Dobbiaco; German: Toblacher See) is a lake in the Dolomites in South Tyrol, Italy.
Following the road, there is another beautifull lake - Dürrensee (Italian: Lago di Landro; German: Dürrensee)
