Top 20 Caves リーヴァデルガルダでの

More information about opening times etc. can be found here: https://www.cascata-varone.com/de/ Make sure you take a rain jacket with you... no one comes out dry here 😜😂! We were there at the end of October and were glad to have a change of clothes in the car 😉. Definitely a welcome refreshment in the summer ☀️

Oolite stone quarries dug in the Vastrè hills. The extracted stone, called "statuary stone", was used above all for portals, fountains and statues as it is easily workable. The stone extracted from the quarries was used to create statues that adorn the Taro bridge in Parma, the fountain in Piazza Duomo in Trento, the statues that adorn the Prato della Valle in Padua, some statues found in the Collegiate Church of Arco and the statue of Moses located in the square of Arco. I advise you to enter the quarries and tackle the route inside. The location is truly very suggestive and I would say unique. The extraction planes are inclined about 30° towards the west and in the middle there are rock columns which were used to prevent the roof from collapsing.

Small Madonna in a rock cave on the Ponale

Madonnina in a cavity in the rock on the Ponale path before Molina di Ledro

during the day we passed by it 100 times always in a "hurry" and we had never stopped.... at night the tour is calmer slower more relaxed... we finally stopped and it was worth it...

A small facility but worth a visit, bring a rain jacket.

Interesting short tunnel on the east side of the Brione. Great view of Torbole

Found on the way to Monte Brione. If you stand at the other end, you go straight down. You should be free from giddiness. Otherwise you have a great view over Torbole
