Borago di Brenzone (Borago) is a fraction of the municipality of Brenzone sul Garda and is located on the eastern shore of Lake Garda , at the foot of Monte Baldo . The northern neighboring municipality is Sommavilla , while Castello is in the southern neighborhood . The slopes on the roadsides of Via Madonna degli Ulivi or Via Belvedere on the drive to Borago are overgrown with olive trees. The harvested olives are processed into olive oil in the local oil mill .

The partly very steep and very narrow Via Borago leads to the shores of Lake Garda after about 200 m . After all, Borago is 120 - 140 m slm , this is 55 to 75 meters above Lake Garda, which is 65 m slm . This height difference is overcome almost exclusively on 160 m of the way. Since this small street is sometimes very narrow (less than 2 m), it can only be passed with scooters or the typical Italian Ape . In order to reach the small place with normal vehicles, you have to choose the detour via the neighboring villages.
