The juxtaposition of smooth, glass-like water and textured, snow-covered trees creates a harmonious, yet unexpected, marriage of land and sea beneath the mighty Dolomites in South Tyrol.

How to get there
N46° 41' 48.3828"E12° 05' 01.1832"
This look-down drone image was taken above the forest and Lago di Braies in South Tyrol, Italy.
The best way to get to this location is to drive and then park in one of the nearby lots, like P3 - Parking lake "Lago di Braies" (46.699329, 12.084966) or Parkplatz Parcheggio (46.700483, 12.084756).
After parking, reference the GPS coordinates and walk south along the west side of the lake (past Kapelle Pragser Wildsee). Then, launch your drone directly above the water and fly south to capture the curve in the land along the shore.
Please note: the lakeside is free to visit, but there will be a small fee for parking in one of the private lots if you choose to drive yourself and park there.
