Why Go
The cable car's cabins turn as they climb to about 1,760 meters, with the whole lake spread below. Trails run along the ridge, called the 'garden of Europe' for its wildflowers, and paragliders launch from the top.
Down in the town, Goethe was nearly arrested as a spy while sketching the Scaliger castle in 1786.
