Very beautiful park with 13 waterfalls if you take the black route. I would recommend that everyone wear decent shoes. The paths are uneven and sometimes muddy. Great route, it doesn't get boring.

A little old ascent to the La Rocca plateau. Some of the steps have broken away and lots of loose stones, but families can do it easily.

The Rocca di Garda is a steep rock on the eastern shore of Lake Garda, south of the town of Garda. A castle stood here 1000 years ago. Today, unfortunately, only a few stones of it can be seen.

La Rocca di Garda is a rock between the towns of Garda (in the north) and Bardolino (in the south), which rises steeply above the lake of the same name below. It consists of two main peaks, separated by a hill: the Rocca Vecchia (291m above sea level) and the hill with the hermitage of San Giorgio (306m above sea level). The historical significance of this mountain dates back to the 5th century BC, when a castle was built on the summit during the Lombard era, which still gives the mountain its name today, even if there are hardly any traces of the castle itself left. The place name "Garda" is derived directly from this characteristic fortress (from the Old Germanic "Warda" or "Warte" i.e. "guard" or "fortress") and replaced the older Latin name Lacus Benacus. In 1193, Emperor Henry VI handed over. the Rocca di Garda to the city of Verona for 700 silver tokens. Source: https://www.europlan.it/de/wandel-rocca-di-garda

From this point you can enjoy a wonderful, if not the best, view of the rock church of Madonna della Corona near Spiazzi. On the way to the pilgrimage church you pass a Stations of the Cross with life-size figures and you keep looking down into the Adige Valley. The highest pilgrimage church in Italy is at an altitude of 773 meters and was built directly into and on the rock face. It is unmistakable that the church has merged with the rock, because the west and parts of the north wall consist largely of the rock of the mountain. The wall behind the altar of the Madonna della Corona is unusual and contains the miraculous image, a figure of the Virgin Mary with the body of Jesus on her knees (Pietà), surrounded by a crown of thorns and five groups of angels. The pilgrimage church was built in the 15th century, but there is said to have been a hermit church there from the 12th century. In 1982 the church was given the title “Basilica minor” and on April 17, 1988, Pope John Paul II visited the place of pilgrimage.

A very nicely landscaped park with 3 different routes to choose from. You definitely need sturdy shoes. With flip-flops, this quickly becomes dangerous, since there are also a lot of vertical meters to be covered.

Although it is one of the shortest routes to La Rocca, it is also one of the steepest. Here you need a certain level of fitness to get up the mountain.
