An even more superb view of the Lake and its
surroundings are offered from Monte Baldo. A completely restored cable-car
ascends the mountain. The station at the top end is 1800m above the Lake and an
ideal starting point for hikes or mountainbike tours. The bottom station
has a covered parking area with spaces for 200 cars; from here there is easy
access to the embarking area, thanks to the lifts, which also serve the bus
terminal and eliminate all forms of architectural barrier.
Limone sul Garda
is home to the unique lemon houses,
which cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Thanks to the mild climate
this is the only place on Latitude 46 Degrees North where lemons and citrus
fruits can be grown.
The town of Limone sits on a narrow strip of land at the foot of the tall, rocky
cliffs north of the Riviera. Today Limone is one of the most popular tourist
towns of Lake Garda, but it has preserved its small-town charm.
Its picturesque, historic town center, ancient homes, narrow streets, and ports
surrounded by lush vegetation offer endless possibilities for pleasant, relaxing
hikes and strolls both inland and along the lake.

PLACES TO VISIT LAKE GARDA
Riva Del

First visit is to the Rocca, the imposing XII-century castle-fortification,
completely surrounded by water, used and often modified by the Scaligeris, the
Venetians, the princes of Trento, up to the Austrians in 1852 when it was used
as a barracks, and the four corner towers were demolished to reduce them to the
height of the roofs. Now the Rocca houses the Museo Civico, important for its
precious Gallery with a collection of frescoes, paintings, drawings, prints and
sculptures dating from the XVI to the XX century. There is also an archaeology
section and an interesting collection of photographs illustrating the frescos to
be found in the churches, palaces and castles in the area, all dating from the
Middle Ages and the Renaissance period.
