The legend
Once upon a time… the lake did not exist. The area was instead occupied by a forest that belonged to two brothers. One day, an evil day, the two brothers fought. Both of them wanted to be the only owner of such luxuriant forest. They fought so violently that God decided to punish them as he could not stand that humans, and especially brothers, could be as greedy. During the night, he destroyed the reason of such evil that lead the two brothers to be one against each other. The next morning the two brothers could not believe what there was in front of them. The forest disappeared. Instead, there was a spectacular mirror of water. It was a lake, the lake of Lavarone. From that day, the two brothers stopped fighting.
The origin of the legend is product of the water filling of a deep carsic doline. It is presumed that the land sinked therefore it is still possible to find fossils at the bottom.
What to do in the summer
Lavarone Lake is the perfect place where to have a swim (water temperature : 20-24 °C degrees), practicing rowboat, canoe, and trampoline diving.
If you are looking for some rest, you can relax on the comfy sunbeds in the equipped beaches Lido Bertoldi and Lido Marzari. And while you unwind … kids will be busy playing on the water games.
If you feel hungry, take a sit in the bars - Miralago Bar and Lido Marzari Bar on the water shores and taste yummy bruchettas, sandwiches, fresh ice cream and much more.
