Lago Verde | max-depth =

The Grünsee () is a lake and protected natural monument in South Tyrol. It lies 1,680 metres above sea level in the westernmost part of the Pflersch Valley, the left side valley of the Eisack river below the Brenner Pass.

Geography

The lake was created as remnant, when the Feuerstein Ferner had drawn itself. It gives fish such as trout and carp a protected, untouched living space. The lake drains subterraneously via the Fernerbach. As a typical mountain lake the water is very clean (A-grade quality). It remains cold even in summer.

Access

The lake can only be reached by foot. There is road access to the Ochsen alpine hut approximately 11 km east. The road is not accessible for cars in winter.
