Itinerary
Riva del Garda rises on the northern shore of Lake Garda, framed by imposing mountains and crystal-clear waters. Its elegant historic center, the lakeside promenade, the beaches, and the numerous panoramic paths make it an ideal destination for those seeking nature, sports, relaxation, and an authentic atmosphere between lake and Alps, in the heart of Italian Trentino.
It's not just a waterfall: it's a gorge carved by water in about 20,000 years. Fed by the underground leaks of Lake Tenno, the Magnone stream has carved the limestone, creating one of the most scenic natural places in Alto Garda.
The name is fascinating, but the origins of the bridge remain uncertain. It probably marked an ancient crossing of the Sarca along the roads between Arco, Laghel, and Ceniga. The inscriptions recall reconstructions after the full and military events of the nineteenth century.
A simple but very useful stop for a cycle tourist: it is located near the bike path and the Sarca, in a cool and informal area. It is appreciated especially for sandwiches, porchetta, beer, and outdoor tables: ideal for a concrete break without leaving the rhythm of the tour.
Forte Garda, on Monte Brione above Riva del Garda, is an Austro-Hungarian fortification built between 1904 and 1907. It was part of the complex defensive system created to control Lake Garda and the access to Tyrol. During the First World War it played a strategic role. Today it preserves military galleries, stations, and environments overlooking the lake.
Forte San Nicolò, at the foot of Mount Brione in Riva del Garda, was built in the 19th century by the Austro-Hungarian Empire to control access to Alto Garda. It functioned both as a road barrier and as a coastal battery, also equipped with powerful spotlights to monitor the lake. Today is a precious testimony of the defensive system that protected the southern border of Tyrol.

About Lake Garda
Lake Garda is Italy's largest lake, ringed by mountains in the north, with lemon and olive groves, medieval castles and lakeside towns.
Lake Garda, the largest lake in Italy, stretches about fifty kilometres from the Alpine foothills in the north to the wide plain in the south, shared by Lombardy, Veneto and Trentino. Mountains plunge into its northern end, while the southern shores are gentle and open. Sirmione, a village on a narrow peninsula, has a moated Scaliger castle and the Roman ruins known as the Grottoes of Catullus, and Malcesine's castle stands on the eastern shore.
Top-ranked sights in Lake Garda: Gardaland Park, Lake Garda (Lago di Garda), Punta San Vigilio.
