Molina di Ledro

Molina, on the shore of the fascinating Lake Ledro, is famous for the remains of a Bronze Age pile-dwelling village, as well as for its charming centre and its outlying hamlets, built in the traditional local style.
The pile-dwelling village, which is one of the most important Prehistoric sites in Europe, was discovered on the southern shore of the lake in 1929, during the construction of the Riva del Garda hydroelectric power plant; the water level of the lake fell to reveal an expanse dotted with over 10,000 piles.
The Pile Dwelling Museum preserves and displays the fascinating artefacts found on the site.
Today, there are some interesting project proposals aimed at improving the visitor experience to this suggestive archaeological site.
Visitors can also take part in numerous educational programs, especially those conducted by the Archeo Lab, based in Molina di Ledro, specializing in ecological and environmental education and "imitative" archaeology projects.
At Besta there is a large delightful beach. Visitors can find an array of accommodation options: camping facilities, hotels, self-catering apartments, as well as shops and restaurants.
