Sights in Lago D'iseo

  1. Parco Nazionale delle Incisioni Rupestri

    About halfway between Darfo and Edolo, the Parco Nazionale delle Incisioni Rupestri, at Capo di Ponte, is a 30-hectare open-air museum containing a representative array of rock engravings going as far back as the Bronze Age. Perched high on a rocky ledge over the Oglio river stands a grand Romanesque church, the 11th- to 12th-century Pieve di San Siro.

  2. Riserva Naturale Torbiere del Sebino

    To the south of Iseo stretches a 2-sq-km protected wetland, the Riserva Naturale Torbiere del Sebino, formed from 18th-century peat beds. In late spring, the pools are smothered in water lilies. Getting in is hit-or-miss, although there is a walking path around it.

  3. Monte Isola

    Monte Isola is Europe’s largest lake island, at 4.28 sq km. Only the doctor, police and the priest are allowed to drive on the island, making its little fishing village a peaceful retreat.
