LIMONE SUL GARDA VLOG ON LAKE GARDA! WATCH THE VIDEO!
LIMONE SUL GARDA HAS PRESERVED THE LOOK OF A MEDIEVAL HAMLET, WITH THE OLD HOUSES PACKED AROUND THE SMALL HARBOUR. FOR CENTURIES THE INHABITANTS OF LAKE GARDA HAVE LIVED OUT OF FISHING, OF OLIVES AND LEMONS FARM. BUT THIS IS NOT THE ONLY REASON LIMONE SUL GARDA IS CALLED THAT WAY... YOU KNOW, IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ISOLATED PLACE ON LAKE GARDA, ONLY REACHABLE CRUISING ON THE LAKE OR CLIMBING THE MOUNTAINS.
BESIDES, LIMONE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON A BOUNDARY LINE: BETWEEN THE PROVINCES OF BRESCIA AND TRENTO, BETWEEN LOMBARDY AND TRENTINO ALTO ADIGE, BETWEEN ITALY AND THE AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN EMPIRE. THE LATIN WORD "LIMES", INDEED, MEANS "BORDER".
IN 1932 THE WESTERN GARDESANA ROAD WAS OPENED AND THE LIMONE SUL GARDA ISOLATION ENDED. IT IS NOW CONNECTED TO THE OTHER TOWNS ON LAKE GARDA AND, ESPECIALLY, IT IS NOW OPEN TO TOURISM, THAT BECAME AN IMPORTANT RESOURCE FOR THE TOWN AFTER THE SECOND WORLD WAR.
LUCKILY THE ROLL-OUT OF TOURISM DIDN’T RUIN THAT MAGICAL ATMOSPHERE OF LIMONE SUL GARDA MADE OF NICE GLIMPSES, NARROW STREETS, BLOOMING BALCONIES AND COLOURED SQUARES. AND THAT IS NOT THE ONLY THING THAT HASN’T CHANGED ACROSS THE YEARS IN LIMONE SUL GARDA…
THE ARRIVAL OF TOURISM DEEPLY TRANSFORMED THE OLD HOUSES AND WORKSHOPS OF LIMONE SUL GARDA, THAT NOWADAYS ARE RESTAURANTS, PIZZERIAS, ICE CREAM PARLORS, BARS, SHOPS ENLIVENING THE FRONTLAKE PROMENADE AND ATTRACTING MORE AND MORE TOURISTS WHO CHOOSE LIMONE AS THE DESTINATION FOR THEIR HOLIDAYS ON LAKE GARDA. THIS PLACE CAN COMBINE GENUINE HOSPITALITY TO MODERN TOURIST ATTRACTIONS. THE TOWN BOASTS ANY KIND OF ACCOMMODATION AND ITS BEACHES ARE WIDE AND WELL EQUIPPED, YOU CAN RENT SUNBEDS, BEACH UMBRELLAS, PADDLE BOATS, WINDSURF BOARDS AND HERE YOU CAN FIND LOTS OF BARS AND RESTAURANTS.
SHADED STARWAYS LEAD TO THE INNER STREETS OF THE HAMLET, AMONG ANCIENT HOUSES AND LITTLE SHOPS, LEMON AND JASMINE PERFUMED SQUARES, WATERFALLS OF BOUGAINVILLE, UNDER GERANIUMS AND WISTERIAS BALCONIES THAT MAKE LIMONE SUL GARDA AN ENCHANTED TOWN.
LIMONE SUL GARDA LEMON HOUSE
THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE LEMON HOUSE DATES BACK AT THE EARLY 18TH CENTURY. NOWADAYS THE MUNICIPALITY OF LIMONE SUL GARDA HAS RENOVATED IT AND REOPENED IT AFTER PLANTING HUNDREDS OF LEMON TREES, CEDAR TREES, MANDARIN TREES, CLEMENTINE TREES AND GRAPEFRUIT TREES.
THIS HISTORICAL LEMON HOUSE MADE OF STONES LAYS ON SEVERAL TERRACINGS CONNECTED BY SMALL STAIRS.
THE STRUCTURE IS CLOSED ON THREE SIDES AND FACES SOUTHEAST, THEREFORE THE PLANTS ARE PROTECTED AND EXPOSED TO THE SUNBEAMS. THE MANY COLUMNS WERE COVERED WITH WOODEN OR GLASS SHEETS, DEPENDING ON THE SEASON OF THE YEAR, TO PROTECT THE PLANTS FROM THE COLD AND TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SUN ALSO IN WINTER. DURING THR COLDEST DAYS OF THE YEAR A LITTLE FIRE CAN BE LIT TO WARM UP THE LEMON HOUSE.
IN PRESENT DAYS THE CITRUSES ARE CULTIVATED JUST TO COVER THE LOCAL NEEDS.
AN EDUCATIONAL PATH ILLUSTRATES THE STORY OF THE LEMON HOUSE AND THE NUMEROUS TYPES OF CITRUS TREES CULTIVATED ON LAKE GARDA.

LAKE GARDA CYCLE PATH
IN JULY 2018 A NEW SECTION OF A CYCLE PATH OVERHANGING LAKE GARDA WAS OPENED. IT STARTS IN LIMONE SUL GARDA AND GETS TO THE BORDER BETWEEN LOMBARDY AND TRENTINO. THIS NEW PANORAMIC, BEAUTIFUL SECTION CONNECTS TO ANOTHER 110 MILES LONG ITINERARY THAT PROCEEDS ALONG THE PERIMETER OF LAKE GARDA, THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE EUROVELO PATHS OF CENTRAL AND MEDITERRANEAN EUROPE.
ONE LAST THINGS: AT THE BEGINNING I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT AN INTERESTING FACT THAT HASN’T CHANGED AFTER TOURISM GOT HERE. WELL, YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT MANY INHABITANTS OF LIMONE SUL GARDA ARE CENTENARIANS. THIS FACT CALLED THE ATTENTION OF A SCIENTIST FROM MILAN, WHO DISCOVERED THAT THANKS TO THE ISOLATION PEOPLE HERE DEVELOPED A UNIQUE PROTEIN ACROSS THE CENTURIES, A PROTEIN THAT PROTECTS THE HEART AND THE ARTERIES FROM CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES, LIKE HEART ATTACK OR ARTERIOSCLERÒSIS. SO, IT HAS BEEN SCIENTIFICALLY DEMONSTRATED THAT IN LIMONE SUL GARDA PEOPLE LIVE LONGER.

thank you for the video ! do you think it's possible to rent a bike from Limone to the next city of Riva and drop it off somewhere there (without having to come back to Limone) ?
Thanks! Really hard to find a drop off point different than the pick up. I guess no one does it
Why the H..... do you make a video in one of the nicest cities in Italy...IN GREY WEATHER !??? That is SO stupid.... a dislike from here !
It's clear that you have no idea of what the H... means to shoot a video

@@montpelee You are right. I checked your channel, I definitely have a lot to learn from your videos! Thank you!

Thanks, but don't worry for me, I'm fine! Plus, it's funny to see how you are changing what you wrote before... You'll forgive me if I don't take the time to think of an answer, I just can repeat that you have no idea of what means to shoot a video..."bro"....
