What a Bella Italia! – you may exclaim as you watch Lake Garda approaching – one of the most recognizable icons of Italy. Its clear waters, beaches along its shores and crisp mountain air attract travelers from all over the world - including Poles - every season. Once there, tourists are enchanted by the panorama of towns squatting in the shadow of the majestic Trentino Alps , which, surprisingly, in the 21st century. century, they still retain their historic character. Driving along the winding serpentines around the surface of the lake shimmering in the summer sun, it is difficult to focus on the road - everyone can be distracted by unforgettable views of stone defensive towers, domes of temples and roofs of hundreds of houses covered with sun-baked tiles emerging from the pine forests...

A magical alpine province

Camping on Lake Garda is an opportunity to get to know Italy from the magical province, filled with an Alpine atmosphere. Almost every town here is a separate architectural gem, worth visiting. During a trip around the shores of Garda, you can learn the medieval (and bloody!) secrets of the knights living in the chambers of Sirmione Castle , which was built on a small, isolated peninsula in the southern part of the lake. While here, it is worth being seduced by history even more and exploring the ancient secrets of the Romans hidden in the ruins of the Grotte dei Catullo villa.

When driving north from Sirmione, you must stop in small Malcesine , where you just need to board the gondola cable car and, after a dozen or so minutes of riding and panoramic views of the Alpine ridge, you will stand at the top of Montebaldo (1,750 m) . Of course, mountain hikes and historic walks are not all that the Lake Garda area has to offer. After all, it is one of the few places in the world where, surrounded by sky-high peaks, you can plunge into the embrace of water madness! Aquaparks and swimming pool complexes are one of the favorite local attractions, providing a solid dose of fun - the famous Gardaland Aquapark is a place where you can easily spend the whole day (or even two!), relaxing in the jacuzzi and saunas, or sliding at stunning speed down numerous slides and... water roller coasters.
