Timeline

  1. 06:06

    Oldofredi Castle

    Walk from Piazza Garibaldi straight ahead to Oldofredi Castle. The castle sits on the eastern side, so you will be facing the sunrise.

  2. 06:23

    Lido Belvedere

    Head west from the castle to Lido Belvedere. Position yourself by the lake side to see the sun rise directly behind the castle towers.

  3. 07:08

    Ristorante Pizzeria Il Bruco

    After the sun is up, head back toward the town center. Stop at Ristorante Pizzeria Il Bruco for breakfast. The kitchen opens at 11:00 in the summer, which aligns well with a late March or September sunrise around 06:23 plus your walk time.

Local tip

The walk between the castle and Lido Belvedere takes about 17 minutes. Bring a light layer as mornings by the lake can be cool.

Check before you go

  • Ristorante Pizzeria Il Bruco is open from 11:00 to 23:00 or later during the summer. If you are visiting outside of summer months, check if the kitchen is open for breakfast.
  • The alignment of the sunrise behind Oldofredi Castle is computed and line of sight is not verified. Check the weather forecast for clear skies.

Worth knowing

  • Sun position is calculated. We have not confirmed the view is unobstructed.
