Das Latium ist die Seen-Region Italiens schlechthin. Die Anzahl seiner Seen übersteigt alle anderen Regionen Italiens auch von der Vielfalt. Hier findest Du Küsten-Seen, Seen vulkanischen Ursprungs, künstlich angelegte Becken, Gletscherrandseen, Quellseen, Felsenseen und sogar Moore und Teiche. Angeblich hält das Latium sogar den europäischen Rekord an Vulkanseen, also Seen die sich in den Kratern erloschener Vulkane gebildet haben. Es lohnt sich also Zeit an den Ufern dieser Seen oder in deren kühlem Nass zu verbringen. Aber wie wäre es, die zehn größten Seen des Latium zu Fuß zu umrunden und sich dabei die begehrte Sammlermedaille der Iron Lake Challenge in der Version „Lazio“ zu verdienen?

RULES
The rules for Iron Lake Challenge Lazio are very simple. Nevertheless, we would like to clarify them once again at this point:
- Sign up for the Iron Lake Challenge Latium!
- To conquer the Iron Lake Challenge Lazio and earn the beautiful collector's medal, you must walk around the ten largest lakes in Lazio after registering. Lakes that are partly on the territory of other federal states are not included in this challenge.
- Bicycles, skates, etc. are not allowed, but you are welcome to hike or run.
- Each lake must be circumnavigated "in one piece" unless special rules apply (see below in the descriptions of the lakes). This means that you are welcome to take breaks, but you should complete the lake within one day. Of course you can divide the 10 lakes into different days. Do only one lake per day, because you want to enjoy this time!
- The Iron Lake Challenge Latium has no time limit. This means that you can cycle around the ten lakes over several years.
- We trust you that you have really circumnavigated the lakes. However, if you want to be included in the time ranking, we need a copy of your tracking. We don't care what you use (watch, smartphone or app).
General PLEASE NOTE!
- Please note that traffic rules apply in public traffic areas and along roads and cycle paths. So move with consideration.
- You circumnavigate the lakes at your own risk and at your own risk. The operator of this website assumes no liability.
- Please heed medical advice if necessary or have a medical examination before the start of the Challenge. You are responsible for your own health, equipment and condition. Breaking off a tour is not a disgrace, health always comes first!
A few important rules for dealing with nature during your lake tour:
- Please take into account the local instructions for the protection of nature.
- Please do not go off the trails.
- Please do not make noise.
- Please do not collect rocks or minerals.
- Please do not collect mushrooms.
- Please do not leave any garbage lying around. Quite the opposite. Many of us even collect garbage.
- Please do not feed animals.
- Please do not make an open fire.
- Please do not pick plants.
This should be obvious to all of us, but it doesn't hurt to remember it from time to time.

The ten largest lakes in Lazio
Lake Bolsena
Lake Bolsena (Italian Lago di Bolsena) is 113.5 km² in size and is located around 90 kilometers north of Rome in the province of Viterbo. It is almost completely circular, which is due to the fact that water has collected in the caldera of a former volcano. Lake Bolsena is only fed by rainwater and underground springs, which is why it takes around 120 years for its water (which is of excellent quality) to be completely replaced. There are two small islands in the lake. For many centuries, various popes had their residences on Lake Bolsena. Walking around the lake gives you 43 kilometers of beautiful shoreline.
Route recommendations for circumnavigating Lake Bolsena:
Lago di Bracciano
Lake Bracciano (Lago di Bracciano) is a circular lake located around 35 kilometers north of the city center of Rome. At 57.5 km², it is the second largest lake in Lazio and is also a filled caldera of a volcano. Hot mineral springs and gas leaks in its surroundings are impressive proof of its volcanic origin. The lakeshore is shared by the municipalities of Anguillara Sabazia, Bracciano and Trevignano Romano. To circumnavigate Lago di Bracciano, you have to walk around 33 kilometers.
Tour recommendations for the circumnavigation of Lago di Bracciano:
Lago di Paola
Der 14,74 km² große Paola-See (auch Lagune von Sabaudia“ oder Sabaudia-See“ genannt) ist ein Brackwassersee der (wie der Lago di Fogliano auch) als Feuchtgebiet internationale Bedeutung erlangt hat. Funde von antiken Villen und Zisternen gehen bis ins 1. Jahrhundert v. Chr. zurück, während später Kaiser Nero den Bau des Römerkanals anordnete. Später siedelten sich hier Mönche an. Die Umrundung zu Fuß ist ca. 26 Kilometer lang.

Lago di Vico
Auch der Vicosee (12,93 km²) ist ein Kratersee vulkanischen Ursprungs und liegt nordwestlich von Rom, umgeben mit der felsigen Hügelketten der „Monte Cimini“. Laut einer antiken Sage entstand der See, als der mythologische Held Herakles zum Beweis seiner Kraft mit seiner Keule ein Loch in den Boden schlug. In Wirklichkeit ist er jedoch eine mit Quell- und Regenwasser gefüllte Caledera eines alten Vulkans. Der Lago di Vico ist der Mittelpunkt des Naturreservates „Riserva Naturale del Lago di Vico“ und seine Lage ist wunderschön. Eine Umrundung zu Fuß ist absolut empfehlenswert und bietet Dir auf ca. 25 Kilometern (je nach gewählter Tour) eine wunderbare Natur und tolle Augenblicke.

Lago del Salto
The approx. 10 km² Lago del Salto is an artificial lake created by a dam and embedded in a mountainous forest area. A walk around the lake is about 40 kilometers long.

Lago Albano
The approx. 6 km² large Albano lake (Lago Albano) liegt südlich von Rom und an seinen Ufern befindet sich das berühmte „Castelgandolfo“, dem Papstsitz außerhalb des Vatikan. Der Wasserstand des Albaner Sees wird durch einen antiken Abflusstunnel geregelt. Seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre ist der Wasserspiegel des Sees deutlich gesunken. Der Grund dafür ist der große Wasserverbrauch der umliegenden Kommunen und der päpstlichen Gärten. Eine Umrundung zu Fuß beschert Dir ca. 10 Kilometer Uferstrecke.

Lago del Turano
Nach dem Bau der Staumauer formte sich im Oktober 1938 nach starken Regenfällen der mittlerweile ca. 5.6 km2 große Lago del Turano. Die Bezeichnung „Tora“ ist abstammend von den antiken Stätten Thiora in den Sabiner Bergen. Der See ist schwer komplett zu umrunden, weshalb unser Tourenvorschlag (über die Brücke) ca. 17 Kilometer lang ist. Aber hier freuen wir uns über weitere Vorschläge von Dir.

Lago di Fogliano
Der Lago di Fogliano ist unter den „pontinischen Küstenseen“ (Fogliano, Caprolace, Monaci, Paola) mit seinen 3,95 km2 der Größte. Er gehört zu dem Schutzgebiet des Nationalparks Circeo, welches als Feuchtgebiet internationale Bedeutung erlangt hat. Archäologische Funde belegen, dass dieses Gebiet bereits in prähistorischer Zeit besiedelt war und auch in der Zeit der Römer wurde es unter anderem zur Fischzucht genutzt. Zu Fuß musst Du ca. 13 Kilometer für eine komplette Umrundung zurücklegen.

Lago di Fondi
Der ca. 3,8 km2 große Lago di Fondi bildet sich auf natürliche Weise in einer Senke, die sich ständig mit Quellwasser füllt, das aus dem Fuß der Berge austritt. Zusätzlich zu den Quellwasserströmen wurde eine Reihe von Kanälen gebaut, die das Wasser aus dem Sumpfgebiet unterhalb des Meeresspiegels in den See ableiten. Der See gehört zu den sogenannten „Übergangsgewässern“ die in der Regel sehr artenreich sind.

Lago di Martignano
Lago di Martignano is located very close to the eastern shore of Lago di Bracciano and, at 2.44 km², is not particularly large. The lake is located in the protected zone of the Regional Natural Park of the Lakes of Bracciano and Martignano. It is also of volcanic origin and the ancient Romans were already aware of its beauty, so much so that they built the first villas on its shores. In 1972, the exterior shots of the fairy's house for the Pinocchio film series took place here. To walk around the lake on foot, you have to reckon with a 14-kilometre walk along the shore.
