The municipality Nago-Torbole, which is located at the north eastern shore of Lake Garda next to the Sarca delta consists of two villages: Torbole, situated at the shore of the Lake and Nago above of Torbole at an altitude of 200 m. A special feature of the town, which is located at the foot of Monte Baldo, is the arrangement of the houses like an amphitheatre facing towards the bay.
Torbole (the name is derived from turbines) is a well known centre of sailing and windsurfing due to the constant winds and the prohibition of motor boats. Therefore Torbole is one of the European capitals of water sports and a very popular tourist destination.
One of the most beautiful and picturesque spots of the town is the harbour, which has retained the original appearance of the fishing village. Goethe has been impressed by the extraordinary winds and the beauty of the village and called it „the country where the lemons bloom.”
Nango is a charming small village with a Mediterranean vegetation which offers a breathtaking view over Lake Garda. The municipal museum is located in the castle of Nago which is surrounded by a beautiful park.
The nature park Monte Baldo, also called „the garden of Europe“ is located in the area of Nago-Torbole and is well known for its botanical wealth.
The Mediterranean climate is ideal for the cultivation of olive and lemon trees. |
