I find the Italian name very apt, because the same holiday feelings come up and when you think you are in Limone or Riva.

Super relaxed tour around the Aartalsee. Unfortunately, small sections of the tour are closed, but a detour is found directly. Komoot describes the tour as difficult, but as a beginner I found the route very pleasant. 💪🏻
