Roadbook
Start from the campsite and head towards the Roman Bridge and the Napoleonic Forts. First follow the western shore of the lake, then the eastern shore, the most scenic section of the path.
Cross the main road, but do not walk on the road: the path continues first through the woods above the road and then below it.
Return to Molveno via the path dedicated to the King of the Belgians and the Bior bridge.
