Lake Toblino & Castle
Lago di Toblino
Toblino Castle, a fairy-tale castle on a small peninsula in the lake, with a beautiful reflection, is a classic stop on the way from Trento to Lake Garda.
Lake Toblino lies in the valley between Trento and Riva del Garda. It is small, and Toblino Castle stands on a peninsula in the lake. Built in the Middle Ages, it was once the summer residence of the Prince-Bishops of Trento and now operates as a restaurant (reservations required). The interior is generally not open for independent visits. Around 2 km of trails follow the shore, offering many angles for photographing the castle's reflection. The mild Mediterranean climate supports olive trees and cypresses around the lake. The surrounding valley is known for the Nosiola white grape and Vino Santo, a sweet wine. It is about 25 minutes' drive from Trento, and intercity buses toward Riva stop by the lake.
