Mountain Biking Another enjoyable route for mountain bike enthusiast's is the route which take's you to Ferrara di Monte Baldo. Again the journey starts at Garda town,
Just take the road for Caprino Veronese which is found at the roundabout on the main Lae Garda road in the cetre of town. This road will lead you to Costermano, at the firts juncation
take go straight ahead for Caprino, then follow the road for about 5km until you reach the Piazza. Now we could tell you to take the main road to Ferrara but that would be boaring instead when you
reach the piazza take the road for Spiazzi and then when you see a big super market called " Eurospin" on your left take the fork in the road to your right and follow the signs for Porcino.

 

 

 

 

This will take you through the beautiful forest off the beaten track whilst still staying on a good but small tarmacked road. This route is not to difficult but there is one point which last for about 200 meters which can get quite steep. As you come out of the forrest you will find a hamlet of houses on your right called " Loc Broieschi" carry on up the hill and you will come to a junction, take a right and you will be back on the main road keep going for 2km and you will reach the town of Spiazzi. Here you can either carry on straight up to Ferrara or at the the fountain found at the small piazza you will see a sign for Loc " Pravazzar " and a steep road ,take this road for about 500 meters and you will reach another small crossroad back in the forrest, turn right and keep going until you reach " Malga Ime" agriturismo restaurant where you can enjoy good local cusine. If you have the energy after your well deserved rest you can carry on for the last 2 km until you reach the sumit and the most spectacular views Lake Garda has to offer.
