We are not exactly in the dolomitic Area, but near Bolzano.  The triangular lake is located at the end of the Valle di Valdurna, a side valley of the Val Sarentino. We are at the very end of the valley; a nice walking path leads around it,  accompanied by the unique alpine panorama of the Sarentino Alps . At the shores of Lake Valdurna, there is the village of Valdurna. In the centre of the small village are  the church, the school and some private buildings. The foundation of the S. Nicolò church dates back to the year 1400. The interior is adorned with particularly beautiful frescoes of the 15th century which represent a rarity for such a little village at 1.600 mt. above sea level and far from lines of communication.
