Garda
Lake
Garda
Lake is the largest lake in Italy. It is located in Northern Italy,
about half-way between Venice and Milan. It is in an alpine region and
was formed by glaciers at the end of the last ice age. The lake and its
shoreline are divided between the provinces of Verona (to the south-east),
Brescia (south-west), and Trento (north). Being easily accessible from
the north via the Brenner pass, the lake is a major tourist destination,
including a number of exclusive hotels and resorts along its shore.

« High
up, in lovely Italy, beneath the Alps that shut in Germany above Tirolo,
lies a lake known as Benaco. »
