About

A lovelorn wizard's blunder led to the myriad colors of this lake, according to local folklore.

Plentiful mountain lakes may be available, but how many of them are blessed with the stunning hue of a love-struck sorcerer and a rainbow? Go to South Tyrol region in Italy and you'll find Lake Carezza, nestled beneath the Dolomites, where legend has it, a beautiful water nymph called it home. Enter Masaré - an enraptured wizard - who hatched an elaborate scheme with the help of an enchantress in order to woo her. His plan included donning disguise as a jewelry salesman and unleashing a rainbow over the lake.
