Strada della Forra, a spectacular 6 km mountain road carved into the rock face by the Brasa stream in Tremosine sul Garda, Italy. ๐ An engineering marvel, connecting Lake Garda with Pieve di Tremosine, and often called the โeighth wonder of the worldโ by Winston Churchill. # Why Go ๐ Experience one of the world's most scenic drives. ๐ฌ Visit a famous film location from James Bond's Quantum of Solace. โฐ๏ธ Enjoy unforgettable panoramic views of Lake Garda and surrounding mountains, including Monte Baldo. โ๏ธ Navigate through unique tunnels and sharp turns, a thrilling drive for drivers, motorcyclists, and experienced cyclists. ๐ถ Explore a parallel pedestrian path with similar views. # Why Avoid โ ๏ธ Extremely narrow sections (as little as 3m wide), blind corners, and low tunnels, making it challenging for nervous or beginner drivers due to steep drops and tight turns with minimal railings. ๐ซ Large vehicles like caravans, RVs, and heavy off-road vehicles are prohibited. ๐ง Requires full concentration due to blind turns and oncoming traffic, and can be crowded, especially on weekends in July/August. # Tips ๐๏ธ Best to visit in spring (Apr-Jun) or autumn (Sep-Oct) for mild weather and less traffic. For best photos, visit 7-10 AM or 4:30-6:30 PM during these seasons. ๐๏ธ Small cars or motorcycles are highly recommended for easier navigation. ๐ฏ Use your horn in blind corners for safety; ensure functional brakes and know your vehicle's width. # Hours ๐ Daily; one-way traffic uphill from 10:00-19:00 for the first 3km during peak season (May-Oct), otherwise two-way. # Parking ๐ ฟ๏ธ Stop at designated viewpoints, like near La Forra restaurant, for photo opportunities. # Restaurants ๐ฝ๏ธ Restaurants La Forra and Brasa are available along the route.
