Peschiera del Garda Port

Highlight • Settlement

Peschiera del Garda is a lively and always on the move town. There are some beaches for swimming and sunbathing; or you can enjoy a walk in the narrow alleys of the center or along the port. The old city is surrounded by canals and you can tour on small boats to better discover the historic city walls. Peschiera del Garda is the only town on Lake Garda where there is a train station. The cycle path along the Mincio towards Mantua starts from here.

From Bardolino to Garda there is a cycle / pedestrian path that runs alongside the various campsites and hotels that overlook the eastern shore of Lake Garda. Here there is space for a possible stop for a little relaxation and the support of a series of bars for a drink, an ice cream and even hot and cold dishes.

Old Port of Desenzano del Garda

Highlight • Settlement

Desenzano del Garda. Pearl of Lake Garda. Do not miss the Porto Vecchio and the promenade along the long pier of the tourist port. Beautiful lakefront with gardens and fountains.

Here in the "Porto Vecchio" harbor of Desenzano del Garda, near the small bridge, lies a beautiful old cutter/ship. A wonderful sight, a great photo opportunity...

The military harbor of Peschiera had to be deepened by over 2 m in 1861 to accommodate a newly built gunboat for the Garda flotilla. When digging with a so-called paternoster excavator north of the Querini Bastion, numerous bronze objects were unearthed. These were kept by the Austrian first lieutenant Heinrich von Silber and the naval engineer Lorentz. Von Silber suspected that a ship with the items on board had once sunk here. Numerous tree trunks that were rammed into the lake bottom made the work more difficult, so it was thought that there was a fishing hut here, which is often found on Lake Garda, which is why the pottery shards that were found were disposed of. However, after von Silber contacted the archaeologist Johannes Freudenberg from Bonn, the realization emerged that there had once been a pile-dwelling settlement here.

Interesting old fortress town, old barracks, city gates, bridges. Lots of cafés and nice places to stop for refreshments.

Bella Italia - the entire lake and surrounding area is incredibly beautiful - it's hard to put it into words. Mountainous in the north, rather flat in the south, mostly quite coarse pebble beach and yet there is a wonderfully fine sandy beach along the east coast. Wonderful climate.
