Hiking

A beautiful spot right on the shores of Lake Garda with an unobstructed view of the imposing mountains on the west bank. The small jetty, the historic promenade, and the bronze sculpture invite you to linger. Especially with changing light or at sunset, impressive views and great photo opportunities arise here.

In short, a place to linger with cafes, restaurants, and a dreamlike view over the lake.

The small fishing port "Porto Vecchio" on Piazza Magenta was once the center of the town of Malcesine. Today, only small (fishing) boats set sail from here.

Where the boats were once pulled ashore on a ramp, visitors can now find a quiet area framed by simple houses and decorated with contemporary stone sculptures.
