We took a bus from Riva to Nago. This house had a frieze of swans.
One of the many forts in the area from the 1860s
Looking over Torbole to Lake Garda – The V on the right is the Ledro Valley
We went down hill to see these formations made by glaciers
One of them was at the top of this ladder
Looking at Monte Brione
Then we walked back up to Nago
Next we walked from Nago to Tempesta on the lake shore
Map of walk Distance 8.4 miles. Time 5 hours 20 mins
That is our path
Looking towards the Tenno valley above Riva
Looking across Lake Garda to the Ledro valley
Looking down at Torbole
We knew there were 400 steps
Just beautiful
There is Malcesine further down the lake shore, where we took the cable car up Monte Baldo
Down again
It was a long way down all these staircases – we decided not to return this way!
Riva del Garda, with the Tenno valley on the left
We reached Tempesta down on the lake shore and caught a bus back to Torbole, then walked ‘home’.
