GO VISTA: Reiseführer Gardasee

About the travel destination Lake Garda
"When God painted the world, he dropped the colors at Lake Garda, and they spilled over the land." Proudly, the locals tell this story about the lake, which is nestled in the three Italian provinces of Veneto, Lombardy, and Trentino. Indeed, when witnessing the countless shades of blue, green, and turquoise that the changing wind, weather, and time of day conjure on the water, along with the vibrant colors of the lush Mediterranean vegetation unfolding along the shores and hills, one might gladly believe this tale.
As versatile as the color palette is the landscape of the lake: in the north, it is alpine, rugged, and forbidding, resembling a fjord with steep cliffs, while to the south, the mountains give way to hills that fade into the vast Po plain. Here, in the gentle light, palms, lemons, olives, and mimosa thrive, filling the air with Mediterranean scents.
An increasing number of visitors come every summer from near and far to enjoy the magnificent scenery. During the high season, however, one needs a bit of patience as the traffic crawls along the Gardesana Orientale and Gardesana Occidentale – the panoramic roads on the right and left sides of the lake. Nevertheless, Lake Garda remains a paradise: just a short distance from the major tourist centers, hidden gems can be discovered every day.
