Aril River: the shortest river in the World is 175 m long and it is situated in Cassone, Malcesine



This short river, passing through the village of Cassone, is named Aril.

It is a potential potable source for the inhabitants of the area, as well as being a singular environmental resource from both a structural and a panoramic point of view. Despite its short course, whose lenght is only 175 m, Aril River flows under three bridges and has a waterfall.
The river flows into Lake Garda and has, on average, a moderate flow rate of about 1.5 m3/sec.

The source of Aril River has been employed by a power station and has provided energy to the olive oil mill from 1889 to 1913.The source is situated in the old town centre of Cassone, a few metres away from the lake.

You can find The Museum of the Lake in Cassone next to the river mouth.

During the Christmas holidays you can admire a floating nativity scene which has been set up for more than 20 years at the river source from the Association "Amici del presepio" of Cassone.
