Meerauge Bodental

Meerauge"Once two oxen with a cart and hay sank - into the depths - it was over in seconds. Nothing bore witness to the misfortune, to the dark horror. Not even the smallest wave could the eye behold. Only weeks later and beyond the heights, the ox yoke drifted over in Lake Bled!"According to the legend of the Meerauge - a relic from the Ice Age, about whose depth much is speculated - it is said to be subterraneously connected to Lake Bled. Be that as it may - if you are in the Rosental, you absolutely must take a trip to the Bodental and a hike to the turquoise shimmering Meerauge. It lies at 1052 m above sea level and is accessible via a well-secured path. By the way, the special color of the Meerauge is created by the combination of several factors: incidence of light, special chemistry, and very clean water.
