The hidden treasures of the Dolomites: A hike into the Langental
The Dolomites, a majestic mountain range in South Tyrol, are known for their breathtaking landscapes and peaks. But off the beaten path there are secret places that only a few know. One of these places is the Langental, a picturesque valley surrounded by Dolomite peaks.
The adventure begins
The hike into Langental is rather easy and is perfect for beginners and families. With only around 200 meters in altitude and a distance of around five kilometers, it is easy to manage. But the true beauty of this hike lies not in its length or difficulty, but in the breathtaking views and abundant wildlife it has to offer.
Flora and fauna in Langental
During the hike, nature enthusiasts can, with a bit of luck, observe ibexes, chamois and other wild animals on the surrounding mountain slopes. The valley also offers numerous opportunities to sit down, let nature work its magic and enjoy the picturesque landscape.
The Mystery of the Lost Lake
A special highlight of the hike is the search for a hidden mountain lake that is only visible for a few weeks a year. This lake, which is fed by meltwater from the surrounding mountains, disappears over time as the water quickly seeps away again. Although the lake was not visible during our hike, we were able to get an idea of its beauty through photos.
Further adventures in the Dolomites
After the hike through the Langental, adventure seekers can continue their journey and explore the Dolomite High Trail. This path leads below the Geißler peaks and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountain landscape. For those who want to take a more relaxed approach, there is the option of taking the cable car to the summit and enjoying the view from above.
Conclusion
The Dolomites are a true paradise for nature lovers and hikers. Although the hidden mountain lake was not visible during our hike, the experience in Langental was an unforgettable adventure. With its rich wildlife, breathtaking landscapes and hidden treasures, the Langental is a must for anyone visiting the Dolomites.
