Garda, Valle di Ledro, Valle dei LaghiRiva del Garda.
Lake Garda is particularly charming. The color blue
of the water is more intense, the sunlight more vivid
and the air is oxygenated by the mountains and purified
by the Lake Garda breeze which blows and fills the
colored sails of the windsurfs. The beaches, surrounded
by vegetation or steep rocks, are wide and sunny.
The Mediterranean vegetation consisting of olive trees,
lemon trees, palms and bay trees, record the changing
of the seasons. Here, where the lake ends and the
Brenta Dolomites start, the tourist can enjoy a splendid
holiday full of opportunities: history, art, sports
and nature, the warm welcome, the excellent hotel
facilities and the characteristic restaurants. There
are clues to its millenarian history, the unmistakable
signs of civilization, of art and culture that survived
and preserved today through the difficult periods
of the Middle Ages and Estates.
Nearby there stands the Rocca built in 1124 to defend
the lake, today seat of the Civic Museum and of the
Picture Gallery. Baroque buildings such as the church
of the Inviolata and the one dedicated to S. M. Assunta
are of great interest. Riva del Garda offers its tourists
the opportunity to practise all sports according to
the taste: sailing, surfing, sports angling, walking,
bowls, cycling, tennis, climbing, canoeing, etc.
