On the southwestern shore of Lake Garda, a few kilometers north of Desenzano del Garda, lies the small town of Padenghe sul Garda in the fertile Valtenesi region. Over several centuries, numerous castles and fortifications were built in this area, reflecting the fierce power struggle already underway for the wines and olive oils produced in the Valtenesi. The castle ruins, perched on a hill above Padenghe, represent the remains of a fortress built of rubble and fieldstones as early as the 10th century. Originally lacking corner towers, the approximately 70 by 38 meter structure, situated on the gently sloping side of a moraine hill facing Lake Garda, was protected by a ditch. It was probably only in the first half of the 14th century that two square wall towers and two corner towers were added to the curtain wall. The wall on the steeper southeastern side, reaching a height of about 9 meters, remained without towers. After 1330, under the rule of the Scaliger family of Verona, a separate noble castle was built on the northeastern flank, reinforced in the northern section by a round tower 17 meters high and approximately 9 meters in diameter. https://www.gardasee-domizil.de/burg-padenghe-sul-garda.php

Unfortunately, there isn't much to see of the impressive castle. You can catch a glimpse from one spot. Otherwise, everything is cordoned off and protected from prying eyes by a high wall.

A beautiful cycle path immersed in the greenery of the mountain nature, in Nozza there is a stretch on a suspended footbridge over the Chiese river.

An impressively beautiful and ancient Catholic church. A walk around it is worthwhile. Great views of the church, olive trees, and vineyards.
