The Sirmione castle is a suggestive fortress directly overlooking the lake, which is accessed via a drawbridge over the water. The 146 steps allow you to reach the patrol walkways and admire the whole surrounding area. Built by Mastino I Della Scala, the Castle of Sirmione is also linked to many legends, including that of Ebengardo and his beloved Arice.

Also known as the island of San Biagio, this tiny island is just a few meters from Punta Belvedere and the beaches of Manerba. Famous for its splendid waters, it is characterized by green meadows, cypresses and ... obviously small rabbits in the wild.
There are two ways to get to the island:
This grandiose monument is a symbol of Italy's victory in the Great War. "A place where the sacred and the profane hold hands, a reliquary that preserves the memory of the fallen, a private cemetery where the beloved greyhounds rest not far from their master".

Shortly after Campione del Garda you can go up to the Borgo di Tremosine through what is considered the most beautiful road in the world: the road of the gorge. Indeed, Winston Churchill called it the eighth wonder of the world. It is a very suggestive road that I recommend you to do by motorbike, at least you will have the opportunity to fully enjoy the view. In the car you have to be very careful and therefore only those who do not drive will enjoy it. The road reaches the village of Pieve di Tremosine. Here you can impress and relax at the same time in one of the must-see attractions on Lake Garda: the Brivido terrace. It is so called because it is a terrace suspended in the void 350 meters high.
Lake Tenno has waters of such an incredible color that when you are on its shores you will not be able to believe it. This small turquoise-colored lake was formed following a landslide around 1100 which blocked the course of two streams: the Ri Sec and the Laurel. I recommend that you spend at least half a day on the shores of Lake Tenno, perhaps even trying to bathe in its waters.
