Mountain walk - Karersee

Just recently Ely and I decided to close the season of mountain excursions with a walk around the Karersee (Lago di Carezza) in South Tyrol, not too far from Trento. The day was still preatty warm and the intense blue sky was so inviting...so we prepared a couple of sandwiches, grabbed a backpack and a couple of pairs of mountain shoes...and after an hour drive there we were...and it was JUST AMAZING!

We also found some mushrooms, but just fine to photograph, because they were venomous.

Along the walk it was full of plants of wild berries....yummy!!!

Stopped by for lunch (with my "little" sandwich: rye bread and smoked raw ham, speck)

Along the way we climbed down an incredible stoney landscape...
