The city
Malcesine is the northernmost village on the Veronese shore of Lago de Garda, at the foot of Monte Baldo. The centre, with narrow stone streets descending to the small harbour, is dominated by the Castello Scaligero di Malcesine, perched on a rock by the water, which Goethe sketched in 1786. From the upper part of the village the Funivia Malcesine–Monte Baldo departs — a cable car that climbs nearly 1,800 metres to the pastures and trails of Monte Baldo.
