Lake Iseo (near Lake Garda)

We stayed at a campingsite in Iseo. When we arrived Iseo, we could't find the campingsite, because there were a few road signs missing. So we asked a person and went to the
reception. We hired a mobile home and tried to find it on the campingsite. But the signs were missing and the roads on the camping were very small!

We stayed here for 1 week. And that waas long enough!! in former times i visit lake garda, lake caldenazzo, lago maggiore for a few times and that looked much better!
We enjoyed our stay but missed a good swimming place near the lake. A beach was missing and you couldn't lie down properly. The little
stretch of grass was too small for al guests from the campingsite.

We didn't use our car, because it wasn't pleasant to ride at the roads in this part of Italy.

We went shopping in a very big supermarket. I never saw a shop like this before!!!!

We walked around the village, it was a nice town with a great view on Montisola. There were many swans in the lake, they made the pictures even more stunning!
(i didn't had a digital camera, maybe I can use a scanner, so I can put them on the website soon)

We went swimming every day and one time we swam to the campingsite next to ours; Sassabanek. This camping is much better!!! It has a nice swimming pool and much grass to relax on!

We also rented a trap boat and looked around on the lake. Montisola looked nice, also Iseo has nice buildings.
Next to the camping-site there is a
national reserve. We looked for birds, but only heard warbling of birds.

One day we visited ACQUASPLASH in Franciacorta. It was a great swimming park! (see tip!)

We liked our stay but will not visit this lake or neighbourhood again. I prefer lake garda and lake caldanazzo. It's a lot more vibrant and ajusted to recreationists.

ACQUASPLASH - swimmingpark

We went to franciacorta (look for the signs, cause they are hard to find!!).

The swimming pools were great. Nice glides and not too busy!!

Also nice for younger kids because there are many playgrounds.

The many glides are marvellous.

Try them all!!!!...... Lots of pleasure.
