to do around the lake.
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
