 Stubensee Lake | |
  Stubensee | |
| Location | Pflersch Valley, South Tyrol ( Italy) |
| Coordinates | 46°58′29″N 11°17′06″E / 46.97472°N 11.28500°E |
| Type | Mountain lake |
| Primary inflows | only forward lake: Hochalmbach |
| Primary outflows | only forward lake: Hochalmbach |
| Basin countries | Italy |
| Surface area | back lake: 3.67 ha (9.1 acres) / forward lake: 6.28 ha (15.5 acres) |
| Average depth | both approx. 3 m (9.8 ft) |
| Water volume | back lake: 110,153 m3 (89.302 acre⋅ft) / forward lake: 188,496 m3 (152.816 acre⋅ft) |
| Surface elevation | 2,423 m (7,949 ft) |
The back and forward lakes Stubensee (lit. Lake Stuben in German; Italian: Lago della Stua [1]) are located 2,423 m above sea level in the back part of the Pflersch valley, which is a left side valley of the Eisacktal. Similar to the Grünsee, one has to go by car until Ochsenalm (an alpine pasture) and then travel northwards high up route 6 until the lakes are reached after about four kilometers. At the forward lake, there is a snack station called Magdeburger Hütte (German for Magdeburg alpine refuge), which is named after the city in Germany.
Both lakes have a very good water quality (A grade). As typical mountain lakes, the water remains refreshingly chilly even on hot summer days at max. 12 °C. While the back lake is only supplied by rain or melting snow, the forward one is supplied and drained by the Hochtalbach (A grade quality / rapid). The creek has a length of about 1.65 kilometers and belongs to the source rivers of the Fernerbach. Both merge near the Ochsenalm. Both lakes give also a protected, untouched living space to trouts and carps.
