Italy - Lake Garda, Ritten Sand Pyramids and Rittnerhorn

During long weekend 11-15 june we decide to visit Italy. We pointed our gps to lake Garda - place we've seen in february but then weather was horrible, now we had beautiful sunny sky. Our first point was small city Sirmioneopen in new window on Sirmioopen in new window peninsula. City itself is very nice, but there are two main attractions. Scaliger Castle from 13th century, and place called Grottoes of Catullusopen in new window (Grotte di Catullo) - huge ruins of roman villa.
