Rose septembre ciel nocturne au-dessus de l'un des plus beaux lacs du nord de l'Italie, le Lago di Toblino dans le Trentin-Haut-Adige. Le château médiéval de Toblino, ancienne résidence d'été des prince-évêques de Trent, se dresse silhoueted sous les rayons du soleil éclairant le paysage accidenté entre les sommets des Dolomites Monte Casale et Monte Garzole ou Piccolo Dain.

Lago di Toblino, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy: pink September evening sky over one of northern Italy’s most beautiful lakes, with medieval Castel Toblino, former summer residence of the prince-bishops of Trent, silhouetted below late sunshine lighting the landscape between two contrasting Dolomite peaks. In this sunset view from the northern shore on a tranquil evening, the bulk of Monte Casale rises to 1, 631m (5, 351 ft) in the background. Soaring immediately above the castle promontory is Monte Garzole or Piccolo Dain, lower at 971m (3, 186 ft), but with a sheer rock face that presents a tough challenge to mountaineers. The Lago di Toblino lies about 15 km west of the regional capital, Trento, in the Sarca Valley, also known as the Valle dei Laghi (Valley of the Lakes). Its beauty is enhanced by its location amid rugged mountain slopes, softer hills, dense forests, vineyards, fruit trees and cypresses. Castel Toblino was founded on the site of a 2, 000-year-old cult temple on a spur of rock that had fallen into the lake from Piccolo Dain. The land, originally an island, became a peninsula as the water level dropped. The castle, once a formidable fortress, dates from the 12th century, although it owes its present configuration to Cardinal Bernardo Clesio or Cles (1485-1539), the powerful Prince-Bishop of Trent or Trentino. He converted the stronghold into a desirable summer retreat for the prince-bishops, especially the four members of the noble Madruzzo family who followed him in the role. The Castel Toblino now features an elegant waterside restaurant with a sun terrace offering superb panoramic views of the lake and the Dolomite slopes around it. D1238.B4777
