Lake Resia - Italian, Lake Reschen - German
is an artificial lake near the Reschen Pass and 1 mile from the Austrian border. It has a capacity of 120 million cubic meters and is the largest lake in the province. It is fed by the Adige Rojenbach and Karlinbach and drained by the Adige. The creation of the dam started in April 1940 unifying two natural lakes (Reschensee and Mittersee) and submerging several villages. You can still see the top of the 14th-century church tower and in winter, when the lake freezes, the tower is reachable by foot.
