Lake Tenno.

Lake Tenno represents a real jewel in the Trentino landscape. Due to its azure-turquoise colour shades, some people also call it "lago azzurro". This lake, featuring a nearly perfect round form, is situated at 570 m a.s.l. and is embedded in an intact natural landscape at the foot of Monte Misone. The surface of the lake is about 0.22 sq km, but its level considerably varies depending on precipitations. In relation to the water level in summer, autumn rain might for example raise its level about 15 meters.
The small island in the lake which in summer is accessible on foot, is totally immersed in the lake in winter - only a few trees are visible from the lakeshore.
There are no buildings at the lakeshore and the lake can not be reached by car, but via medieval stairs. Moreover the lake is surrounded by a dense forest, which together with the white stones on the bottom of the lake, gives Lake Tenno a tropical touch.
