The majestic Lake Garda, one of the upper Italian lakes, is most Mediterranean and the greatest Alpine lakes in Italian in a magnificent landscape. This lake is located in Northern Italy, between Verona and Bresia and the lake is divided between the Italian regions of Trentino-Alto Adige in the north, Veneto in the southeast and Lombardy in the southwest. This beautiful lake has a size of 370 square kilometres and is true Mediterranean oasis with mild climate and a lush Mediterranean vegetation like lemon trees, olive groves, oleanders, bouganville and magnolias. Lake Garda offers a stunning natural scenery, full of colours and is surrounded by the spectacular Dolomites of Brenta in the north and the gentle slopes of morainic hills in the south.
Along the shores of Lake Garda there are many picturesque villages, historical churches and buildings. The northern part of Lake Garda is narrower and is surrounded by mountains, the most of which belong to the Gruppo del Baldo. Glaciers formed this alpine region at the end of the last ice age. The main tributary of Lake Garda is the Sarca River, while the only emissary is the Mincio River.
