foreshortenings of a rare beauty, rocky walls, creeks, small beaches
where one can swim ans antique villas on the waterside.The territory
on the Brescian side slopes down easily to the water, creating
plains with a rich vegetation like the ‘Torbiere d’Iseo’ ; a natural
park which houses numerous bird species. In the centre of the lake

Paolo’ and ‘Loreto’. Numerous cultural events, especially in summer,
various opportunities to practise water sports and to rent a sailing
or motor boat, possibilities for a roundtrip on comfortable and
modern boats. Visitors can also discover the traditions of these
surroundings trying the gastronomic recipes in one of the many
restaurants that offer not only meat and vegetables, but also dishes
