Lakeside walk

Easy walk on the northern shore of Lake Ledro, through the villages of Pieve and Mezzolago to the Pile-Dwelling Museum of Lake Ledro.

Lake Ledro is among the most beautiful and cleanest of Trentino and it stands out for its turquoise blue colour. A few numbers… Depth: 48 m. Surface: 2.187 km². Altitude: 655 m. Length E-W: about 3 km. Summer maximum temperature: between 25° and 28°. In 1929 the construction of the hydroelectric power plant in Riva del Garda was completed. With the partial lowering of the water level, 10.000 poles from the Bronze Age came to light. So began the history of the Pile-Dwelling Museum of Lake Ledro, UNESCO World Heritage Site.
