| | Iseo lake
Iseo lake is situated 185 metres above sea level, and has an area of 62 square kilometres and a depth of up to 215 metres. In the eastern end of the lake is the island Monte Isola
, an island mountain, which is the biggest of its kind in Europe. Cars are not allowed on the island, but it is possible to rent bicycles. Other than that there are plenty of opportunities to go trekking or hiking. Iseo lake makes great conditions for an extraordinary mild climate in the area, which the wine producers in Franciacorta have been able to use, which – together with the special soil conditions – makes it possible to produce the best sparkling white wines in Italy. The Iseo lake´s climate is so mild that it is possible to grow palms and olives – however limited the extent – at the south of the lake. North of the lake is Val Camonica
– the biggest valley in Lombardia. Events/Places of interest
