Geologists suspect that the lake came into being thousands of years ago through a mighty rockslide that dammed up the valley and let the meltwater swell into a deep-blue basin, whose water shimmers in luminous turquoise in the sun and has been repeatedly awarded for its purity.<\/p>\n<p>The Brenta Dolomites, which tower above the lake, are among the most impressive rock landscapes of the Alps and were one of the cradles of Dolomite climbing, criss-crossed by bold via ferratas such as the legendary Via delle Bocchette, which leads dizzyingly along rock ledges and ladders through the vertical faces. In these mountains lives, moreover, the brown bear, which has been reintroduced here after a long absence and gives the Brenta massif back a rare wilderness. The village of Molveno itself long preserved its farming character, before it became a quiet summer retreat that relies more on the experience of nature than on great bustle. Thus the lake combines the dramatic verticality of the Brenta with the cheerful serenity of a mountain lake, on whose shore forest and water meet in harmony.<\/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 Lago di Molveno liegt auf rund 820 m direkt unter den W\u00e4nden der Brenta-Dolomiten und gilt als einer der saubersten Bergseen Italiens.
