Beautiful village with a beautiful lake that gives the name to the village. Unfortunately the two nice things to see, the tower and the lakeside are both paid. So if you don't want to pay two tickets better to walk around the 4 streets of the village and stop.

The military harbor of Peschiera had to be deepened by over 2 m in 1861 to accommodate a newly built gunboat for the Garda flotilla. When digging with a so-called paternoster excavator north of the Querini Bastion, numerous bronze objects were unearthed. These were kept by the Austrian first lieutenant Heinrich von Silber and the naval engineer Lorentz. Von Silber suspected that a ship with the items on board had once sunk here. Numerous tree trunks that were rammed into the lake bottom made the work more difficult, so it was thought that there was a fishing hut here, which is often found on Lake Garda, which is why the pottery shards that were found were disposed of. However, after von Silber contacted the archaeologist Johannes Freudenberg from Bonn, the realization emerged that there had once been a pile-dwelling settlement here.

pond originating from a peat bog. in the body of water you can see the Spy of Italy. The name attributed to the thousand-year-old fortress of Solferino. Solferino is known for the Risorgimento battle of Solferino and San Martino. Following this tragic historical event, here H.Dunant had the idea of founding the International Red Cross. From a cycling point of view, the territory is that of the morainic hills of the Alto Mantovano. These are gentle hills on which it is possible to enjoy easy itineraries. Lower Garda with Desenzano is about ten km away. The proximity favors itineraries that lead to the shores of the lake and its arch of moraine hills.

Castellaro Lagusello is listed among the most beautiful villages in Italy - orange flag Touring Club Italiano. A village that has been defined as a UNESCO World Heritage pile-dwelling site. It is worth a visit for its heart-shaped lake - the feudal castle with its walls. Crossing the door of its drawbridge is a magic that takes us into its history. For bikers Castellaro is an important reference that allows us to develop beautiful tours: for Volta Mantovana and reach the cycle path for Mantua. For Monzambano then the cycle path for Peschiera del Garda. For Pozzolengo and reach Sirmione or Desenzano. For Solferino to reach Castiglione delle Stiviere. For Cavriana to reach the surrounding hills of Alto Mantovano. Happy cycling to everyone.

Interesting old fortress town, old barracks, city gates, bridges. Lots of cafés and nice places to stop for refreshments.
