Its warmth and the mild, almost Mediterranean climate of the surroundings have always favoured viticulture, and the name Kalterersee stands, beyond the region, for a light red wine made from the Vernatsch grape, inseparably bound up with this landscape. Vineyards, apple orchards and cypresses shape the scene and give the \u00dcberetsch a southern air.<\/p>\n<p>Geologically the lake is a remnant of the old Adige, which once flowed through this basin before it shifted its course and left behind a still, reed-fringed body of water that today forms an important refuge for waterfowl. For centuries the area was a meeting place of German and Italian culture, which is still evident today in the bilingualism and in the handsome manor houses of the old landed nobility scattered among the vines. In the surroundings the old Wine Road, one of the oldest of its kind in the Alpine region, recalls the long history of viticulture, which was practised here as early as Roman times. A wine museum in Caldaro preserves the knowledge of this craft and shows how closely the fate of the people was bound up with the grape. Thus Lake Caldaro unites bath-warm water, old wine-growing tradition and the cheerful sense of life of a region on the threshold of the south, where the light often already seems Italian.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#221c1a;color:#fff;border-radius:10px;padding:18px 22px;margin-top:28px;\"><strong style=\"font-size:1.08em;\">Related<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:6px 0 12px;color:#d8d2cc;font-size:14px;\">To make your trip run smoothly , our guides and gear tips for this destination:<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:10px;\"><a href=\"\/en\/mit-hund-in-den-alpen\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">With your dog in the Alps \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/hunde-ausruestung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Dog gear \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/packliste-tages-bergwanderung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Day-tour packing list \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Der Kalterer See im S\u00fcdtiroler Unterland gilt als einer der w\u00e4rmsten Badeseen der Alpen und erreicht im Sommer Badetemperaturen, die alpine Seen sonst kaum bieten.
