The Ponale is a 7 km long mountain stream that rises in Lake Ledro ( Lago di Ledro ) and flows into Lake Garda .
From Lake Ledro, the stream first flows through Molina di Ledro , Prè di Ledro and Biacesa di Ledro with a medium gradient. There he also feeds a trout farm.
From Biacesa to Lake Garda, the valley is deeply cut and the stream runs over a waterfall and flows into Lake Garda at the old port of Antico Porto del Ponale . In 1439, the port was the destination of the Venetian fleet set sail from Torbole , which had previously been transported from the Adige Valley to Lake Garda by the company Galeas per montes, designated by the Republic of Venice .
