The Alto Garda Bresciano Regional Park, established in 1989, protects more than 38,000 hectares of land on the Lombard shore of Lake Garda: from the lake shores of Salò to the peaks of Tremalzo, crossing nine municipalities and unique landscapes-from historic lemon groves to thousand-year-old olive groves, from high-altitude beech forests to Venetian-era trails.
