The back and forward lakes Stubensee (Italian: "Lago della Stua") are located above 2.423 Metres Sea Level in the very back part of the Pflersch – valley, which is a left side valley of the Isarco River. Similar to the Grünsee one has to go by car until „Ochsen Alpine hut“ and then travels northern high up route 6 until the lakes are reached after appr. 4 kilometres. At the forward lake is a snack station called „Magdeburg alpine hut“; named after the city in Germany.

Both lakes shine with tremendous water quality (A grade). As typical mountain lakes the water remains refreshingly chilly even on hot summer days at max. 12° Celsius. While the back lake is only supplied by rain or snow melting, the forward one is supplied and drained by the Hochtalbach (A grade quality / rapid). The creek has a length of appr. 1,65 kilometres and belongs to the source rivers of the "Fernerbach". Both merge near „Ochsenalm“. Both lakes give also a protected, untouched living space to trouts and carps.
