Great challenging trails and hiking trails on and around the Rocca... super path goes up from the beach bay 💪 very steep downhill to be enjoyed with caution

Rocca di Manerba is the name of what is probably the most striking rock on the southwestern Lake Garda. Minerva gave the name to the rock that plunged vertically into the lake, because the goddess had her temple here in Roman times.

However, the Romans were not the first to pay homage to this divine spot. Finds show that people took possession of this place as early as 7,000 to 10,000 years ago.

Later, the Venetians built a castle on the foundations of the temple, which, after the sovereigns had left, was also used as a fortress by robbers due to its strategic location.

Today beautiful nature walks lead through the park above the steep cliffs. The view of the islands of San Biagio and Isola del Garda in front of the majestic mountain backdrop of the northern lake is breathtaking. The archaeological finds of the Rocca have been brought together in a small museum, which gives its visitors an overview of both the history and the special natural treasures of the Rocca di Manerba.

Immediately in front of the museum (follow the signs to “Parco Archeologico”) there is a parking lot, from which you can easily walk to the castle ruins on the top of the rock.

The circular hiking trail through the park below the castle can only be mastered with good shoes and a certain surefootedness, but it is definitely worth it.

The ruins of the Rocca di Manerba offer a magnificent view over Lake Garda, as well as the Brescian Prealps and the Monte Baldo ridge.
