Around Tignale . Around the Lake

Lake Garda, or Benaco, is the largest lake in Italy, with a surface area of 370 sq. km. It is surrounded by three regions, Lombardia (with the province of Brescia), Veneto (province of Verona) and Trentino-Alto Adige (province of Trento) and is parallel to the Adige river valley and separated from it by the Mount Baldo massif. The northern part of the lake is narrow like a funnel and surrounded by steep mountains whereas the lake widens towards the south, where it is surrounded by hills that make the landscape much more gentle.  The lake is an important destination for tourists and is visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists every year.
