In Borghetto there are still the historic buildings of the water mills that operated here. Beautifully restored, they now house hotels and restaurants. The area can get quite busy, especially on weekends, as it is a popular excursion destination.

October 6, 2021,🚵‍♂️🚵‍♀️2.Tour am Gardasee: Von Sirmione nach Borghetto

The start was in Sirmione and the first (near) destination was Peschiera del Garda. There we left Lake Garda behind and cycled along the Mincio to the tranquil village of "Borghetto" - the place where the knot of love, the "Tortellini di Valeggio" was probably invented. Borghetto is a former fortress village and impresses with its imposing ruins.
The next …

October 1, 2021,Von Peschiera am Mincio bis Borghetto entlang

Today a relaxed bike ride along the Mincio. Great to drive as the route is very flat. Münsterland conditions 🤗
We weren't in Borghetto today. It was just too crowded. No distance possible and we would only have been pushed through.

April 19, 2023,Fahrradtour bei angenehmen Temperaturen am Mincio entlang

Our usual bike tour along the Mincio was on the agenda for today. However, we looked for a few alternative paths that were not paved but gravel. But you could also ride these paths very well.
The temperatures were around 22°, so ideal for me.😊

September 21, 2022,Fahrradtour Valeggio sul Mincio nach Preschiera del Garda am Gardasee und zurück

A bike tour on the east or west side of Lake Garda is hardly recommended. Either too crowded or on main roads with car and truck traffic, that's no fun.

Not so on this route. Asphalted almost throughout in mostly fair condition and away from traffic roads.

September 23, 2022,Fahrradtour entlang des Mincio Richtung Borghetto🚲

Today we cycled our favorite route from Peschiera towards Borghetto. Always along the Mincio.
It felt like there were 100,000 people on bikes on the way. We've never seen so many on this route before. So on the way back we chose the unknown route along the Canale Virgilo. A great choice. We were alone there. At the weir, however, …

June 18, 2023,von San Benedetto am Fluß entlang nach Borghetto und zurück

A very relaxed tour along the Mincio River. Far away from the hustle and bustle of Lake Garda. We wanted it to be a little quieter today and without mountains. Most of the cycle paths along the Mincio River are paved. But definitely passable. Partly gravel, I don't really like driving that much, but it was ok. Borghetto is really …
