Besides the changing reflections of Lake Garda, the territory has many other
distinctive characteristics from fascinating routes to captivating
landscapes. The Marocche, an impressive landslide dating back to the
glaciation period, characterises the Cavedine Valley lunar landscape. Mount
Brione, rising up at the centre of the Sarca Valley, is mirrored by Lake
Garda and has become one of the stops on the European "Sentiero della
Pace" (Path of Peace) due to the World War I Austro-Hungarian
fortifications found on it. The Varone Waterfall, which inspired
Thomas Mann's "The Magic Mountain", is an 87-metre waterfall on
the inside of a cavern that was excavated by the Magnone stream. It is open
every day in the summer and holidays and Sundays in the winter. The
celebrated "Marmitte dei Giganti" (Giants' Potholes),deep
circular cavities of glacial origin found along the provincial road, connect
Nago to Torbole. And finally, the botanical peculiarities of the Arco
Arboretum, an antique park created by archduke Albert of
Hapsburg in the second half of the 1800's which is open during daylight
hours.
