Lakeside walk

A lakeside walk along the northern shore of Ledro Lake passing through the villages of Pieve and Mezzolago, reaching the Ledro Lake Pile-Dwelling Museum.

Ledro Lake is one of the most beautiful and cleanest in Trentino and stands out for its beautiful blue-turquoise color. Some figures… Depth: 48 m. Surface area: 2.187 km². Altitude: 655 m. East-West length: about 3 km. Max summer temperature: between 25° and 28°. In 1929 the construction of the Riva del Garda Hydroelectric Plant, powered by the waters of Ledro Lake, was completed. With the partial lowering of the water level, over 10,000 wooden piles dating back to the Bronze Age were uncovered. This started the history of the Ledro Lake Pile-Dwelling Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
