About Lago Cadagno
Lago Cadagno displays a unique feature - the lake is home to two chemically very different water layers. The upper layer is a common alpine lake which is fed by surface water from the snowmelt and very low in minerals. The lower layer is fed by subaquatic springs from the dolomite and is enriched in minerals (containing calcium, magnesium, sulfur, phosphorus and nitrogen). The high salinity of this lower layer causes it to sink and stay below the upper layer. The region is dotted with enchanting lakes and offers countless possibilities for excursions ranging from simple walks to demanding peaks. (Quinto, Switzerland)
