The negative record in winter

Considering the winter season of the last 30 years, the water level of Lake Garda has never been so low. It is no coincidence that the isthmus that connects the mainland to the small island of San Biagio, also known as Isola dei Conigli, in Manerba sul Garda, in the province of Brescia, has resurfaced. The evocative spectacle, which gives tourists and lovers of walks the experience of walking on a walkway in the middle of the lake, is the clear sign of a too hot winter. A seasonal anomaly that does not suggest anything good. According to the measurements, the water level has dropped by more than 50-60 centimeters compared to the seasonal average. The images from the drone show from above the strip of land that allows you to arrive, on foot or by bike, on the island and the vast dry areas all around.
