As we are staying 3 nights in Riva del Garda we decided to do a loop north out of Riva into the valley. We did a steep climb up to Drena (without the bags so somewhat easier) where there was a castle to see. The road we took was perfectly paved, more like a path through the forest than a road. Only one or two cars passed us, we practically had it to ourselves. After Drena we stopped at Lake Cavedine and watched the windsurfers before heading back to Riva.

I love the handmade brick insets in the switchbacks for traction
