Description

Tenno castle overlooks the Alto Garda area at the northern end of the lake. The medieval village of Frapporta sprang up around its walls and still retains its original layout today. Here you will also find the Romanesque church of San Lorenzo with the oldest frescos in Trentino. A short distance away, on the more gradual slope of the valley, the inhabitants of Tenno have left their mark over the centuries, modelling the hillside with drystone walls supporting the terraces where grapevines and olives are grown.

From here there is an unparalleled view over Lake Garda and the “busa”, as the flat land around the lake is called in local dialect. This itinerary joins up all these elements which are parts of a harmonious whole. And it is thanks to this very equilibrium between nature and human intervention that the Tenno area has been recognised as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

Directions

Start from the parking lot in Via dei Laghi and walk downhill to the castle and then the portal leading into the village of Frapporta. Keep to the right at the first crossroads to reach the church of S. Lorenzo (VIII-XI century). From the fountain before the church, go up the path that leads to the panoramic point on the Grom hill. Keep going straight to return to the castle and cross the state road at the nearby pedestrian crossings. Follow the signs „Percorso Ambientale Bussè“ and take Via Brocchetti and Via Dante until you reach the parking of the Town Hall. Take the unpaved road up the Bussè hill, keeping left at the various intersections. At the end, go down the narrow path that leads to Fontanelle. Upon reaching the Strada di Pil, turn right and continue along Via dei Laghi to return to the parking lot.
