beautiful dirt road to explore at full speed, enjoying the view!

On the southwestern shore of Lake Garda, a few kilometers north of Desenzano del Garda, lies the small town of Padenghe sul Garda in the fertile Valtenesi region. Over several centuries, numerous castles and fortifications were built in this area, reflecting the fierce power struggle already underway for the wines and olive oils produced in the Valtenesi. The castle ruins, perched on a hill above Padenghe, represent the remains of a fortress built of rubble and fieldstones as early as the 10th century. Originally lacking corner towers, the approximately 70 by 38 meter structure, situated on the gently sloping side of a moraine hill facing Lake Garda, was protected by a ditch. It was probably only in the first half of the 14th century that two square wall towers and two corner towers were added to the curtain wall. The wall on the steeper southeastern side, reaching a height of about 9 meters, remained without towers. After 1330, under the rule of the Scaliger family of Verona, a separate noble castle was built on the northeastern flank, reinforced in the northern section by a round tower 17 meters high and approximately 9 meters in diameter. https://www.gardasee-domizil.de/burg-padenghe-sul-garda.php

this little village on the Mincio is a sight to behold

Beautiful cycle path that cuts across the province of Mantua from south to north, paved and well maintained, arriving in Peschiera del Garda

As you cross the bridge you will find a wonderful shaded kiosk.

Well-trodden road. There's a campsite on the right in the area with free access, which also serves as a bar and pizzeria.

Stunning scenery; once you pass under the arch, you can continue straight or turn right. The road to the right is somewhat bumpy.
