MONTE ISOLA: IDEAS FOR THE HOLIDAY
Monte Isola is the biggest island of the European lakes and it is situated in the centre of the lake Iseo.
“..like a mountain in the centre of the lake..” as it was described through the properties of the Serenissima Republic of Venice.
On the island is forbidden to take or use cars.
The streets which link the villages on the island are passable by bicycles, which can be rented in Peschiera Maraglio, Sensole or Carzano, or taken to the island through ferry boats (not on Sundays between April and September). In fact there are a lot of itineraries which can be followed by bicycle and/or on foot.
The most followed itinerary is the tour of the island (9 km – easy). There is an another one, more difficult but also more panoramic, which goes up to the santuary of Madonna della Ceriola (tour of the island and climb to the santuary: 15 km).
All the Monte Isola villages must be discovered for their particularities and for monuments to visit;
- Siviano, the main village, for its historic buildings;
- Peschiera and the villages by the lake for the narrow connection with the lake and the fishermen activities: boats and nets;
- Senzano, Cure e Masse for their rural and agricultural characteristics
