Lake Iseo

Lake Iseo is located in Lombardy on the border of Brescia and Bergamo. It's the one of the largest lakes in Italy and the highest lake in all of Europe.

Lake Iseo isn't the biggest lake in Lombary (northern Italy), but it's just as wonderful as its more famous siblings: Como and Garda.

The east coast is, in my opinion, more interesting than the west as it has less industry. Don't miss the small village of Sarnico at the entrance to the lake.
