Toblino's atmospheres
The Toblino Lake is a small Alpine mirror of Trentino, surrounded by a flourishing reed bed and luxuriant vegetation. It is located 245 meters above sea level and occupies the final part of the Valle dei Laghi, just 20 minutes from Trento and near the centers of Sarche, Padergnone, Vezzano and Calavino.
The Mediterranean climate, combined with the charm of the Alps, make Toblino Lake a special and unique place thanks to its landscape. On a promontory stands the Toblino's Castle, which together with the surrounding area, gives a fairytale atmosphere.
In fact, when the Castle peeps out of the lake in the morning, you understand why, according to legend, the fairies lived here, honored and respected by the natives.
Lake Toblino
The Toblino Lake is a romantic destination par excellence. The aroma of lemons, olives and rosemary, the particularly enchanting body of water make it ideal for relaxing walks or bike rides along its banks.
The route is flat and suitable for everyone, allowing you to closely observe the shores of the lake in less than an hour. The starting point is located near the bridge that crosses the canal that divides the Toblino Lake from the communicating Lake of Santa Massenza.
You then reach the path that runs along the shore between wooden walkways and reeds. Along the way, it is possible to discover the fauna and flora of the place by means of some didactic signs.
Furthermore, since 1992, Toblino Lake has been protected as a Biotope by the Autonomous Province of Trento.
After passing the Castle, the route ends near Maso Toresella, a nineteenth-century villa seat of a well-known winery in Trento. Unfortunately the structure is closed to the public as it is used exclusively for weddings.
The Toblino Castle
After starting the itinerary for about 500 meters in the lush greenery that surrounds the lake, you will reach Toblino's Castle. Its history begins in the distant 12th century and today it is considered one of the most beautiful manors in Trentino.
It was renovated in the sixteenth century by Bernardo Clesio first and by the Madruzzo and Wolkenstein family at a later time.
The Castle, privately owned, has a bar inside, with a splendid panoramic terrace and a restaurant, both can be accessed directly from the main door.
Of the Castle it is possible to visit only the courtyard, the interior cannot be visited and is only open on special occasions such as weddings or ceremonies.
To admire the Toblino's Castle from a magnificent perspective, you can take the wooden walkway that runs along the banks.
