Toscolano-Maderno
Lombardia
Toscolano-Maderno is a double village where history and nature are uniquely intertwined. Maderno, with its Romanesque cathedral and bustling harbor, and Toscolano, with the Valle delle Cartiere-an ancient industrial zone where paper was produced for the Serenissima-form a fascinating whole.
The Alto Garda Bresciano Park protects the mountains behind the town, with trails leading to breathtaking views and abandoned villages to rediscover. Toscolano-Maderno’s beaches are among the widest and sandiest on the lake.
The ferry that connects Toscolano-Maderno to Torri del Benaco on the Veronese shore makes this town a strategic crossroads for exploring both shores of Lake Garda. In the evenings, the lakefront comes alive with walks, ice cream and lake-view dinners.
