Day 4: Lovere-Toscolano Maderno (93 km, 360 m uphill)

After two workdays in Lovere at Lago d’Iseo, I have to say that this was not the best place to stay for three nights because (a) west bank and surrounded by high mountains means that the sun is gone quite early, and (b) it’s September and all the tourists are gone. So the place was quite dead in the evenings. I did find an alright pizza restaurant though where I had dinner the last two nights.

Today, I continued cycling. This was my longest day so far with 93 kilometres. First I circled Lago d’Iseo, and then I went via Brescia towards Lago di Garda.

In Brescia, I stopped for a lunch break in an idyllic Lidl parking lot. Descending towards Lago di Garda was very nice. I’m staying here for one night in Toscolano Maderno in a very nice hotel.

Tomorrow, I’m going to go around the whole lake and stay in Peschiera in the southeast corner before I continue towards Padua on Sunday.
