The natural amphitheater of Bogn (also known as Orrido del Bögn or Baia del Bogn) is one of the most spectacular and iconic points of Lake Iseo. Located on the Bergamo shore in Riva di Solto, it presents itself as a magnificent inlet characterized by gigantic vertical slabs of limestone dating back over 200 million years. The rocks plunge sheerly into emerald-colored waters, offering an exotic landscape that strongly resembles the bays of Thailand or the Philippines.

Suggestive carving in the rock. Starting point of the Sentiero delle Fantasme, look for the red writing on the rock that indicates the start of the ridge (path EE). https://www.ecodibergamo.it/stories/eppen/outdoor/volti-spettrali-incisi-nella-roccia-sentiero-delle-fantasme-sovere-o_1445517_11/

One of the most beautiful spots on Lake Iseo. Easy to explore by bike, but best by boat.

Many fords to cross to follow the path from one side to the other. There had been some early snowfall, the path in some very few sections is not identifiable at first sight. (November 2024)

Gorge in front of Lovere worth seeing. But the best thing is the bike path along the gorge with beautiful views.
