Reschensee, also known as Lake Resia, is a picturesque artificial lake located in the South Tyrol region of northern Italy, near the Austrian and Swiss borders. The lake is renowned for its submerged 14th-century church tower that protrudes above the water, creating a striking and iconic image against the backdrop of the Alps. This unique feature is the result of the construction of a dam in 1950, which led to the flooding of several villages. Today, Reschensee is a popular destination for tourists and outdoor enthusiasts, offering activities such as boating, fishing, and hiking in the summer, and ice skating and snowkiting in the winter.
