The Black lake is a beautiful lake in this little and cozy city of gram ado, in Southern Brazil. Adjust your expectations because it is a small lake if compared with others in Brazil, US or Switzerland, for instance. But it has a charm that requires a visit if you are in Gramado. It is one of the attractions of the city not to be missed.The vegetation shows good examples of the local flora. It is possible to have a ride in the lake in a small boat in the format of a swan. It´s a nice place for families to enjoy the environment.From December to February, when it is time for the typical flowers of the city (hortensias) to blossom, the place is a wonderful view. In May it is still beautiful but if you have an option, choose among that months to visit Gramado and the Black lake.
A pretty place to visit. It has a cafe/restaurant and peddle boat rides. My daughter really enjoyed the ride on the swan peddle boat. It is a little far out from the city centre, but worth a visit.
The short path around the lake is really comfortable to stride on while enjoying the nature (-imported nature). The lake itself is very clean and people can amuse themselves on the paddles.
It is a good plan to go with the children! They were so happy with "swan boats". It is a little lake, you can pedal all around it in 10 minutes.
We stop by the lake on the way to Gramado. Charming lake but it feels bit commercial around...I still enjoyed it. As I visited the place in winter we didn't walk around the lake. Just had a warm coffee and enjoyed the views. Probably more to explore in summer season.
It's a lake in a very well maintained place. Despite it being really simple, it is quite beautifull and unexpected site. It worth the visit!
As everything in Gramado, this lake is another beautiful attraction. We had a wonderful time there, took hundreds of beautiful pictures, had a couple of drinks and enjoyed every minute we've spent there.
I have good memories of this place! The story is that a German rich man that immigrated to that area used to feel homesick of his town in Germany. As he had money he decided to build this lake. Which is a replica of the Black Lake at the Bavaria area in Germany. To make the deep bottom of the lake dark and black as the original one, trees were laid off on the bottom it during construction. It as place to spend at least 2 hours. Walk around and take as many pictures you can. Keep your memory alive!
Typical program, where we can observe the local way of life. Families, couples, etc. enjoying a beautiful day of sunshine and its inseparable chimarrãos.Bom program to unwind.
Very nice but I would say more interesting to visit in winter when lake frozen and snow all over the trees
