LEDRO ALPS and JUDICARIA 3 from the Dolomites to Lake Garda LEDRO ALPS 4 and JUDICARIA from the Dolomites to Lake Garda “Under the shade of the picturesque old covered bridge which crosses the stream, we halted for a few minutes to admire a view almost unique in my alpine experience. Close beside us stood the castle of Stenico, perched high on a crag, commanding on one side the entrance of the gorge, overlooking on the other a wide sunny basin, girt by verdant ridges compared to which the shores of Como are bare and brown. The hollows and lower slopes sparkle with villages, and teem with Indian corn and trailing vines. The hills do not, as in the Northern Alps, rise in continuous ridges, but are broken up into masses of the most romantically beautiful forms”.
