Lake Garda
Northern Italy’s Lake Garda, which was created by glacial action, is the largest lake in Italy. This picturesque lake, bounded by mountains, is a popular vacation destination. The lake contains several islands, including Isola del Garda where St. Francis of Assisi founded a monastery in 1220. The lake itself has a fjord-like quality; a ferry makes it fun to travel between the towns on the lake. Orange and lemon tree, and olive groves flank its shores, adding a nice scenic touch. The lake is popular with bikers, boaters, wind surfers and those who prefer to roam the quaint island villages.
