Lago del Frassino, Lake and archaeological site in Peschiera del Garda, Italy.
Description
Lago del Frassino is a lake in Peschiera del Garda in Italy's Veneto region. Channels and small waterways connected to the Mincio River run around the lake, and the landscape is shaped by the Moreniche hills nearby.
History
Underwater remains of prehistoric pile dwellings from ancient settlements lie beneath the surface. These old settlement sites are now part of sites protected by UNESCO World Heritage status.
Culture
The waterside draws bird watchers who observe species migrating between Africa and Europe. For many people, it serves as a place to experience nature and watch wildlife up close.
Practical
The lake is easy to reach by taking the A4 motorway exit and following signs toward Sirmione. The best time to visit is during migration seasons in spring and fall, when you can observe different bird species.
Did you know?
The lake is home to a rare frog species called the Lataste frog, found in only a few parts of Europe. This small population is an important part of the water ecosystem and shows how valuable this site is for wildlife conservation.
