Holidays in the European capital of climbing – main image

Do you want to spend an unforgettable holiday with outdoor sports? Do you want to have a lake and mountains at your fingertips? The campsites on Lake Garda are ideal for those wishing to spend an active holiday in the outdoor sports capital of Europe. The town of Arco, the birthplace of the painter Giovanni Segantini and the aviation pioneer Giovanni Battista Caproni, is situated on the northern shore of Lake Garda. Over time, due to the clean air, mild climate and Mediterranean gardens, the town has become a famous spa and vacation spot. Its symbol is a rocky slope with the ruins of a magnificent medieval castle situated at an altitude of 273 m. There are paths surrounded by olive trees, which take about 20 minutes to walk to the ruins.

The surrounding cliffs are a true paradise for climbers and rock climbing enthusiasts from all over the world. This is why - and also thanks to the famous Rock Master festival - Arco is considered the European capital of climbing. There are countless climbing routes with different levels of difficulty and multi-pitch routes, as well as rocks in Prabi, where you can practice bouldering (800m from the Zoo campsite). But that's not all - there are also several dozen mountain bike and trekking paths in the Alto Garda region. On the lake, you can practice windsurfing, sailing and kite surfing.

Camping Zoo is surrounded by breathtaking nature

Where the dice were thrown
Alea iacta est ("The dice were cast") - history tells us that Julius Caesar uttered these words over 2,000 years ago, crossing the Rubicon River. The event started a bloody civil war that torn the Roman republic over the years. Rubicon formed the natural border of Italy with Pre-Alpine Gaul. The passing of Caesar and his army to the other side was tantamount to a declaration of war. It didn't take long for the waters of the river to run down with blood. Centuries have passed since the events that changed the history of the country known today as Italy . Nowadays, Rubicon no longer creates a border, the crossing of which is associated with making decisions of great importance. Today it is simply a small river flowing from the Northern Apennines to the Adriatic Sea, winding through northern Italy and ending its way at Gatteo A Mare. While exploring the estuary on foot, we come across a bronze bust of Julius Caesar, reminding us of the famous words spoken by the river. Fortunately, today we can cross the Rubicon without getting our feet wet by crossing the wooden suspension bridge. On the other side is the charming seaside resort of Savignano Mare - perfect for a family holiday . Not only people who want to relax by the warm sea come here, but also tourists who want to get to know as many attractions as possible in this part of the Italian coast in their vacation plans. And it must be admitted that it is a great base for visiting nearby resorts. The town is just 5 km away from Cesenatico, with its stunning port, which was said to be designed by the master himself, Leonardo da Vinci, and the charming old town that surrounds it. From Rimini, which is well-deserved as one of the most famous holiday resorts not only on the Adriatic Riviera, but on the whole of Italy - 12 km. Riccione, known as the Green Pearl of the Adriatic, is 25 km away. Further on, there are centers of great historical and cultural importance - including Ravenna, Florence and Venice.
