The Sunflower Italian Lakes guide is indispensable for hiking in the Italian Lakes or seeing the lakes by car. These great expanses of water, bound to the north by high mountains and stretching down towards the Lombardy Plain, all resulted from glacial activity. While this guide focuses primarily on walking the Italian Lakes, you can gain huge satisfaction from touring the Italian Lakes by car as well. Whether on foot or by car, you will discover timeless hill villages, ancient mule tracks and panoramic mountain viewpoints.
