Holiday apartment in Malpasso: culture, wetland and distinctive routes

Malpasso amid nature, history and distinctive routes

A stay in Malpasso opens up a wide range of discoveries: Parco Valle del Menago is a wetland covering approximately 35 hectares, located immediately near Bovolone. At the Villaggio preistorico, the areas dedicated to bronze processing and firing ceramic materials are regularly used for demonstrations for the general public and school classes. In addition, there are religious sites, museums, natural arches and a hike of approximately 5 kilometres. If you choose a holiday apartment in Malpasso, you can therefore tailor your trip around nature, history, art or exercise.

Wetland and demonstrations at the Villaggio preistorico

Parco Valle del Menago makes a distinctive mark on the landscape. Its area of approximately 35 hectares and its classification as a wetland make it a specific natural feature to consider when planning your trip; at the same time, the geographical information remains precise: the park is located immediately near Bovolone. Those focusing on culture and accessible presentations can find regular demonstrations on bronze processing and firing ceramic materials at the Villaggio preistorico, aimed at the general public and school classes.

Visits to the Villaggio preistorico for private groups are offered as guided visits from March to November and are always accompanied by a member of staff. This type of visit is clearly different from the regular demonstrations for the general public and school classes. It may therefore be useful for you to distinguish between a public demonstration and an accompanied group visit when planning your day.

Buildings shaped by religious and historical significance

The Palazzo Vescovile is open on the first Sunday of every month from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Reservations are required for other visits. This makes the visit one of those experiences where the specific date plays an important role. The Oratorio di San Biagio houses a valuable mother-of-pearl crucifix; the Oratorio was completed in 1695. A Roman stele is kept in the library in the bishop's cellars.

Museums and natural arches in the wider regional area

The wider regional area around Malpasso is home to several museums with different cultural focuses: the Galleria D'Arte Risorgimento Di Roncoletta Luisa, the Museo degli Affreschi ‘G.B. Cavalcaselle‘ alla tomba di Giulietta, the Museo della Radio d'Epoca and the Museo Nicolis. The regional offering thus ranges from art, frescoes and a place associated with Giulietta to historic radio technology and other museum subjects.

The natural arches Porta Nuova, Porta Vescovo, Porta Leoni and Porta Palio are also located in the wider regional area around Malpasso. The four names identify different destinations within this regional natural and cultural spectrum, without implying that they form a single site or a shared circular route.

Cycling route, Rosary programme and hike

Via Malpasso is used for a cycling route from Bovolone towards Isola della Scala and Tarmassia. The parish's joint Rosary programme for May 2026 also includes a gathering at Via Malpasso 31. Another specific route idea is “Dalla valle alla villa”: this is a hike of approximately 5 kilometres. These different formats provide a clear framework for your planning, whether you would like to include a cultural event, a cycling route or a manageable hiking distance.

Further places for planning your trip: Isola Della Scala, Colà, Lazise, Spiazzi, Cariano, Malcesine, Brognoligo-Costalunga, Tacconi.
