We find our home for the next few days in the lively little village of Limone sul Garda. At one point in time it was a center for citrus growing (but that has nothing to do with the name). There is evidence everywhere of the methods they used to grow lemon trees. The high columns you see on the terraces were crisscrossed with wooden beams. Those in turn were used as support for coverings during the winter months, creating a hot house effect.

North of town there is a wonderful walking/bicycle path that just recently opened. There are many trails here, but the pathway is a much preferred way to walk versus on the roads. Italian drivers are fearless!

A view from the walkway.

More citrus grove ruins.

There is a strong alpine influence here as is evidenced by much of the architecture. Apparently the area just north of us it is mandatory to list all towns with their Italian and Tyrolese names.
