Very nice bike path, unfortunately very short. It would be great if the cycle path would be further expanded!

A good way to get to Monte Baldo, but then hit the hiking trails! There's so much to discover.

A beautiful place sandwiched between rocks and lake. The screw lanes are great and a piece of lake promenade is also nice. But you are probably never alone here and the place only consists of hotels and restaurants.

Malcesine is located on the eastern shore of Lake Garda, right at the foot of Monte Baldo. Around 4,000 people live in the community, whose silhouette is dominated by Scaliger Castle, which forms a very important part of Malcesine's history. The landscape, characterized by the surrounding mountains and the gentle shores of the lake, also provides a unique contrast that only a few other towns on Lake Garda can offer. Like many places on the north and east banks of the water, Malcesine primarily attracts wind and kite surfers. The reliably blowing winds always ensure a pleasant breeze outside the coast. Malcesine is divided into two districts, so-called fractions - Cassone and Navene. https://www.gardasee.at/orte/malcesine.html

Malcesine is a northern Italian municipality on the eastern shore of Lake Garda in the province of Verona with 3,689 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2019). Malcesine is often referred to as the “Pearl of Lake Garda”. However, other places such as Riva del Garda or Limone sul Garda are often associated with this term. The place is heavily influenced by tourism. In addition to the towns of Riva del Garda and Nago-Torbole, Malcesine in the north of Lake Garda is popular with windsurfers, kite surfers and sailors due to its location, partly for getting started in the two main winds of northern Lake Garda, Pelér and Ora. From Malcesine, a cable car leads to the mountain station at 1,760 meters at Passo Tratto Spino in the Monte Baldo massif. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcesine
