Promenade in Castelletto di Brenzone

Lake Garda

Highlight • Lake

Beautiful scenery, but not interesting for a beach holiday: beaches are overcrowded, much(!) too close to the road, and uncomfortable stone beaches.

Cassone Harbor and Stone Tower

If you leave out the more famous places, this is a little pearl on Lake Garda.

View of Lake Garda and Malcesine

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this point on the road that leads from Malcesine to the hamlet of Calchere, you can admire a beautiful view of Lake Garda. Above you, the mountainside soon becomes very steep, up to the top of Mount Baldo.

View of Lake Garda from Passo Campiano

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice viewpoint over Lake Garda with children's playground. Here the small road also goes to the middle station (very steep and exhausting). Highest point on Via Panoramica.

It was actually supposed to be a castle tour, but it was closed!

Yesterday's storm covered the bike path in many places with gravel from the lake. We therefore had to push the bikes. The stones often had a diameter of 15 cm.

Nice bike route but in my opinion only interesting for cyclists when it's not the season otherwise you're more pushing than cycling 😁

Today we walked from Torri del Benaco to Malcesine and back at a leisurely pace, always along the lake shore. A little behind Torri, the busy shore road had to be taken, after which a wide cycle path was created off the road, which is great to drive on and where you can stop at any time to cool off …

There are good cycle paths right by the water on this route. It is a good route to take now, outside of the high season. The last 7km to Torri are on the road again, which requires good nerves

The route follows the riverbanks through many small towns like Castelleto, which invite you to take a break. In Cassano, the Arli awaits, the shortest river in the world at 175 meters 😅. Otherwise, the conditions aren't ideal for leisurely cycling. Either take it easy on the intermittently interrupted 🚳 shared footpaths and cycle paths, blast along the main road …

Hey Komootlers, we started this exploration tour from a small campsite on the eastern shore of Lake Garda.

The bike path is separated from the road the entire way. You can cycle in a relaxed manner and enjoy the surroundings. First against the wind, then with the wind to a restaurant.
