Castellaro Lagusello Village
Castellaro Lagusello village is a particular locality, a little lake in the shape of a heart with at its side a small medieval village among the morainic hills of the hinterland of Lake Garda.
Castellaro Lagusello village is an ancient village that is reflected in the lake surrounded by springs that flow into the lake, from green hills and on steeper slopes from strips of woods, has a castle built by the Scaligeri in the thirteenth-fourteenth century divided into two parts; one towards the lake for the castellano and one to the north, with ten towers and crenellated walls, where the inhabited village develops and defended by a captain. To date there are four towers, a part of the walkway, medieval houses; a part of the castellano area was modified in residence by the Arrighi Counts. To the south of the medieval village lies the Regional Morainic Reserve of Castellaro Lagusello: not many plant species are present, in fact the environment at first sight may seem very monotonous, the banks are mostly marked by thick marsh reeds, there are several species of animals that animate the lake, including the gallinelle the coots the great crested grebe, the bittern, the kingfisher, the cuckoo, the reed warbler, the marsh miglirino and others. The grasses form the grassy mantle, and here we can find among the smaller grasses the thorny broom, the minimal coronilla, and the wild rose. Many trees including the oak that covers most of these woods, the oak, the hornbeam the elm, and the undergrowth, the canine cherry, the privet, the scotano, the hawthorn. This nature reserve is managed by the Parco del Mincio and is private.
