==== Lago Barcis ====

<WRAP indent>

From [[https://www.gilisports.com/blogs/sup-near-me/paddle-boarding-in-italy|gilisports.com webpage]]: "Lake Barcis, known as Lago di Barcis in Italian, is a man-made reservoir fed by the River Celina. This breathtaking location is reached by a picturesque road trip through Northern Italy, passing through the Dolomite's terrain.

… on the unique emerald color water, taking in the beauty of the serene woods brushing against the banks. There are maintained walking routes around the lake with a number of great photo opportunities. The dam is impressive. But if you really want to get the wow factor, you have to be on the water to venture into natural gorges and rock formations."
