Il Lago di Garda, o Benàco (Bènaco per i non toscani), è il maggiore lago italiano, con una superficie di circa 370 km². E' situato tra la Lombardia (con la provincia di Brescia), il Veneto (provincia di Verona) e il Trentino-Alto Adige (provincia di Trento).
[modifica]
GeografiaLe acque del lago bagnano numerosi centri abitati in provincia di Brescia (Sirmione, Desenzano del Garda, Lonato, Padenghe sul Garda, Moniga del Garda, Manerba del Garda, San Felice del Benaco, Salò, Gardone Riviera, Toscolano-Maderno, Gargnano, Tignale, Tremosine, Limone sul Garda), in provincia di Verona (Peschiera del Garda, Castelnuovo del Garda, Lazise, Bardolino, Garda, Torri del Benaco, Brenzone, Malcesine) e in provincia di Trento (Riva del Garda, Nago-Torbole).
[modifica]
La sua formazioneLa parte settentrionale del lago è lunga e stretta, ed è circondata da montagne, le maggiori delle quali appartengono al Gruppo del Baldo. La forma è quella tipica di una valle morenica: si ritiene infatti che questa porzione del lago sia stata creata dall'azione di un ghiacciaio paleolitico, il fiume Sarca è il principale affluente fra 25 immissari, fra i quali l'Aril che con i suoi 175 metri di lunghezza è considerato il fiume più breve del mondo. L'unico emissario del lago è il fiume Mincio. Se la zona del lago conserva tutt'oggi, evidentissime, le tracce lasciate dalle glaciazioni, soprattutto quella wurmiana (tra i 20.000 e i 15.000 anni fa) che un tempo erano ritenute la causa determinante la formazione della depressione lacustre, oggi si pensa, invece, che il modellamento glaciale sia intervenuto su una depressione già esistente, creata dalla maggior capacità di erosione esercitata dalle acque dei torrenti alpini, tra i 6 e i 5 milioni di anni fa, nel periodo in cui si verificò la cosiddetta "crisi di salinità" del Mediterraneo, ovvero un forte abbassamento del livello del mare dovuto all'interruzione della comunicazione con l'Oceano Atlantico. La morfologia glaciale sarebbe quindi sovrimposta ad una più antica morfologia fluviale e tettonica. All'inizio del Quaternario (1,5 milioni di anni fa) la zona dell'attuale bacino lacustre si presentava come un'ampia vallata nella quale si immettevano i fiumi Chiese (nella zona di Salò) e Sarca (presso Riva). Alle successive fasi di glaciazione si deve la formazione dell'imponente anfiteatro morenico antistante il lago e, quindi, la deviazione del Chiese secondo il suo corso attuale. A nord, le alluvioni del Fiume Sarca hanno invece colmato l'area a monte di Riva, dando origine alla conca di Arco e circondando l'antico isolotto del Monte Brione.
[modifica]
Le isoleNel lago ci sono cinque isole, la più grande è l'isola del Garda, vicino a questa è l'isola di San Biagio anche detta "dei Conigli", entrambe situate nei pressi di San Felice del Benaco, verso Salò sulla costa bresciana. Le altre tre più piccole sono l'isola dell'Olivo, l'isola di Sogno e l'isola di Trimelone poste sulla costa veneta tra Malcesine e Assenza.
[modifica]
Il climaIl clima mite ha favorito la crescita di alcune piante mediterranee (tra cui l'ulivo), e ha contribuito a rendere il Lago di Garda un'importante meta turistica internazionale. Famose, ma meno diffuse che in passato, sono le limonaie, serre a porte scorrevoli in cui le piante di limone e cedro potevano svernare tranquillamente. Durante la bella stagione le porte venivano aperte.
[modifica]
La faunaLe specie di pesci presenti nel lago sono oltre una trentina, una è presente solo qui, il Carpione. Le altre specie più importanti sono: l'Agone, l'Alborella, l'Anguilla, la Bottatrice, la Carpa, il Cavedano, il Lavarello, il Luccio, il Persico reale, la Tinca, la Trota e il gambero d'acqua dolce.
[modifica]
Le StradeIl lago di Garda è costeggiato dalle seguenti strade:
[modifica]
La NavigazioneLa navigazione a motore sul lago è permessa oltre 300 m di distanza dalla riva, ad eccezione del promontorio di Sirmione, dei golfi di Salò e Manerba e dell'Isola di Garda dove è consentita oltre i 150 m. La parte Trentina del lago è invece interdetta alla navigazione a motore salvo alcune deroghe. La velocità massima deve essere inferiore ai 20 nodi di giorno, 5 nodi di notte, 3 nodi nei porti ed in fascia costiera protetta. E' possibile praticare lo sport dello sci nautico ad una distanza di 500 m dalla costa; in questo caso la velocità massima non deve essere superiore a 25 nodi. In ogni caso è d'obbligo informarsi presso l'autorità competenete per verificare ulteriori obblighi e/o limitazioni dovute a particolari ordinanze.

| Lago di Garda Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see the castle of malcesine the castle of malcesine vanilja Lago di Garda is located on the border of Lombardia, Veneto and Trentino Alto Adige. It is one of the most beautiful places in Italy and that's saying quite a lot. Over the centuries the lake has always been very popular with holiday makers. The area has been rich in well-known products since Ancient Times: marble and wine, which were exported in all parts of the world. Worth a special mention is the “Riviera degli Olivi”, the long golden shore running along the lake for 50 kilometres (from Peschiera to Malcesine). Places of interest on the lake include Lazise, Peschiera and Sirmione. A special site is the Vittoriale in Gardone just north of Salo. Here you find the house of Gabriele d'Annunzio, an Italian writer, who managed to collect a heap of interesting stuff in his house. From the Lago di Garda day trips can be made to Verona the Valpolicella with its excellent wines and Mantua.. ________History Edit This Thanks to its position between the German world and the mediterranean world, Lake Garda and its surroundings were inhabited during the centuries and nowadays there are numerous historic resorts that can be visited. Here we provide for your convenience a brief summary of what’s worth visiting. Especially in the South we have ancient roman resorts: the most important are those of Catullo’s villa in Sirmione known as “Grotte di Catullo”. After the roman age, in the Middle Ages, Lake Garda and its surroundings became the theatre of numerous battles and the towers of ancient castles are the symbol of the Scaligeri’s power from Sirmione to Malcesine. Numerous little churches of romanic period are a symbol of a religious and rural life in those ancient times. The soul of the ancient inhabitants of the lake still live in the following places: Torri’s Museum: the museum of olive oil cultivation and fishing instruments; Pescantina Museum: the museum of life on the river Adige; Campo: a small medieval village near Torri; Castle’s itinerary in Rivoli: the austrian and italian fortress in Val Lagarina. It was an era defined as the Grand Tour, one in which Lake Garda became the destination of aristocrats, artists and, in the 1800's, a genuine tourist spot. In fact Lake Garda - which is the biggest lake in Italy - has a particular shape, especially if observed from the northern side: it is enclosed between two mountain chains and it shows an intense blue water color. It was this beauty that captivated travellers from Northern Europe in the past such as: Gòethe and Kafka. During the Second World War, an important italian writer Gabriele D’Annunzio, choose Lake Garda to spend the last part of his life. The eccentric villa Vittoriale, which is definitely worth visiting, with its park is located on the Brescia side of the lake in Gardone. _______Practical Information Edit This Sport Activities in Lake Garda Lake Garda is definitely your place, if you like sporting activities.
