Further east lies Lake Garda, Italy's largest lake. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and dotted with charming lakeside villages, this body of water captivates visitors with its tranquil atmosphere. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the waterfront promenades, where the scent of lemon trees mingles with the fresh Alpine breeze.

Tramp Tales of Europe Through the Tyrolean and Swiss Alps and the Italian Lake Region, written by Edgar Magness. Published in Buffalo in 1895.

A very interesting and informative book of his travels throughout Europe in the 1890’s

Preface
….My idea in this book is to give a few friends the benefit of my observations in a summer's tramp in the Alps, together with some notice of the life in the greater capitals of the Continent and of England. The personal element in my descriptions, which I know they will understand, I trust will not be obtrusive to others who may read these pages. I would add another voice to the practicability, healthfulness and charm of traveling on foot in Europe, and in this little journey into Bohemia I propose to introduce to the reader merely a record of individual experiences.
