**Parco Cascata di Varone (Varone Waterfall Park)**

Cascata Varone is located near Limone del Garda, so you can easily visit both in one trip. It’s a beautiful and refreshing spot, but if you plan to go inside the cave to see the waterfall, it’s recommended to bring a raincoat—or you can buy one at the shop on-site.

There’s also a small bakery at the ticket entrance selling bread (around €7 each), but you can absolutely bring your own food as there are plenty of picnic tables available. Restroom facilities are convenient, and the whole area isn’t very large—you can comfortably explore it in about an hour.
