Landscape
Garda Morainic Hills
The territory – Hills Moreniche del Garda – which extends between the southern shore of Lake Garda and the Mantuan plain, closed between the Mincio river to the east and the Churches to the west, offers the visitor a suggestive habitat with natural features and landscapes of great value and originality.
