Ever wanted to row your boat where life is but a dream? Well, hop in and grab the oars. When you're afloat on these peaceful waters, you'll find the alpine vistas in all directions are so beautiful it's surreal.But back to reality for a second: What do you call this lovely lake? To local Italian speakers it's Lago di Braies—but they're less than a quarter of the population in this part of Italy. Most people here in South Tyrol province refer to the lake in their native German as Pragser Wildsee. Of course, like the Dolomites (or le Dolomiti, or die Dolomiten…) that surround it, this body of water is a gem by any name.
