And last but not the least, the lake Garda. “Lake Garda is the main
Italian lake and one of the most important reserves in Europe. With its long
neck that ends between the rocks of the shores, heritage of the Ice Age, it
has always left the different tourists breathless, trying to describe its wonderful
colors and reflexes.
Northwards, the lake is wedged between the mountains, while southwards it extents
in the Plain, between the hills and the gulps of Peschiera and Desenzano. Thanks
to its mild climate, this lake is the most Mediterranean amongst the alpine
lakes.”
