After admiring the landscape, continue walking until you reach the pass between the two castle rocks. Here you can choose between two options: either you go up to Bardolino on the same route, you have committed going uphill, or you go to Garda on the path that leads you at first to the Madonnina del Pigno and then, passing behind of the parish church of Garda, to the lake.  To Bardolino, you can either go back on foot, following the lakeshore towards south, or by public bus, after a visiting tour of the village.
