Beautiful waterfall that ends in a pool, where it is also possible to swim. The route to get there is very shady and really pleasant, even in summer. Be careful, however, as it is a seasonal waterfall: depending on the rains and the seasons, it may not be in activity.

Why create a duplicate of a highlight here. The original is called: Tremalzo descent

Fantastic panoramic white road that can be traveled both uphill and downhill. Beware of gravel, which in some places can cause you to lose the trajectory.

A good way to get to Monte Baldo, but then hit the hiking trails! There's so much to discover.

A beautiful place sandwiched between rocks and lake. The screw lanes are great and a piece of lake promenade is also nice. But you are probably never alone here and the place only consists of hotels and restaurants.

Picturesque holiday resort at the foot of Monte Baldo Malcesine is one of the most popular holiday resorts on the lake and is therefore dominated by tourism. Nevertheless, the town on the eastern shore of Lake Garda has retained a pleasant atmosphere and you can really feel at home here. The extremely picturesque townscape is dominated by a mighty Scaliger castle. This towers over the medieval town center with small squares, arched passages and bumpy cobbled paths, almost all of which lead to the old harbor. The beautiful waterfront promenade begins to the south, along which you can walk to the lush Val di Sogno peninsula - past several beautiful bathing areas. There is a beach north of the town, but bathers share it with surfers and sailors. A cable car runs from Malcesine to Tratto Spino, 1,760 meters high, a peak of Monte Baldos. Up here you have a fabulous view of the lake embedded in mountain ranges. The mountain station is an ideal starting point for hikes or mountain bike tours in the huge mountain range. A great offer from the community is the bus service, which was set up especially for holidaymakers in the summer months. The tourist bus leaves Malcesine every hour and takes you, among other things, to the cable car on Monte Baldo. You can buy tickets on the bus or in restaurants, shops and partner hotels. https://www.gardasee.de/malcesine

Malcesine is located on the eastern shore of Lake Garda, right at the foot of Monte Baldo. Around 4,000 people live in the community, whose silhouette is dominated by Scaliger Castle, which forms a very important part of Malcesine's history. The landscape, characterized by the surrounding mountains and the gentle shores of the lake, also provides a unique contrast that only a few other towns on Lake Garda can offer. Like many places on the north and east banks of the water, Malcesine primarily attracts wind and kite surfers. The reliably blowing winds always ensure a pleasant breeze outside the coast. Malcesine is divided into two districts, so-called fractions - Cassone and Navene. https://www.gardasee.at/orte/malcesine.html
