The pedalos lie far from the water’s edge and the flat stone slabs around the Sirmione peninsula are exposed after drought reduced the level of Italy’s Lake Garda to a 15-year low.
Italy’s largest lake, a major tourist destination nestled among mountains in the north of the country, is suffering like many others from months without rain.
„We are currently at 30 centimetres (12 inches) above the (benchmark) hydrographic level,“ compared to an average for this time of year of between 80 and 100, said Gianluca Ginepro, head of Garda Unico, which promotes the lake.
