The Lago di Caldaro is located in the land of South Tyrol.

It is a public lake that belongs to the region.

However, access to the lake for the local population has been restricted for decades, with the exception of paid entry through the Lido or private access points.

The recent exchange agreement in July 2023 now gives the region the opportunity to provide a gentle and free access point to enjoy this beautiful natural resource.

Despite the need for algae control, there should be a compromise that allows both environmental protection and public access to the lake.

A free access to the lake and clean water would truly be a win-win situation for everyone involved.

The Lago di Caldaro, also known as Kalterer See in German, is located in the picturesque region of South Tyrol, in northern Italy. Nestled within the heart of the famous wine-producing area of the same name, the lake is surrounded by rolling vineyards, charming alpine villages, and the towering peaks of the Dolomites. It’s one of the warmest and largest natural lakes in the Alps, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists seeking relaxation and outdoor activities.

The move towards providing free access to Lago di Caldaro, coupled with efforts to protect its natural beauty, represents a win-win situation for all parties involved. Local residents can finally enjoy this natural gem without restrictions, tourists can experience one of South Tyrol's most beautiful lakes, and the environment is safeguarded for future generations.

In conclusion, the Lago di Caldaro is not just a beautiful destination, but a symbol of how public access to natural resources can be harmonized with environmental sustainability.
