ポマローロの洞窟・トップ7

Drena Castle dominates the middle Sarca Valley from above, perched on a rocky spur that offers a wide view of vineyards, olive groves and the Marocche. Reaching it by bike is short but intense: whether you go up from Dro or Braila, the slopes are felt, especially in the last few meters. The castle is a perfect stop for a panoramic break: you can enter and climb the tower to admire the valley from above or simply rest in the shade of its walls.

A 25-meter-high quadrangular keep of medieval origin, in the province of Trento, Drena Castle can be visited during FAI days and hosts events, art exhibitions, weddings and concerts. The city walls are currently being restored.

Great castle from the outside, unfortunately it was closed on Monday.

Challenging climb but worth it

The largest fortress in Trentino. Beautifully restored and maintained, with large, labyrinthine spaces, evocative stone architecture, and stunning views of the surrounding valleys and mountains. You can freely tour the fortified gates and courtyards, crescent-shaped bastions and stairways, patrol paths, and interior rooms housing weapons collections and other interesting surprises. You'll spend at least two hours there, and it's well worth the (fair) price of admission. Castel Beseno stands in a highly strategic position: a high hill along the Vallagarina, at the entrance to the Rio Cavallo Valley; it essentially controlled the communication routes between the Germanic area and the Italian peninsula, both from the Trento and Folgaria sides. Of medieval origin (12th century), it was expanded and modernized over the centuries. In particular, during the 16th century, it was rebuilt and renovated, transforming its appearance from a medieval castle to that of a Renaissance residence, while retaining its identity as a well-armed defensive fortress. After a long period of abandonment, in 1973 the Trapp counts, owners since 1470, donated the castle to the Autonomous Province of Trento, which oversaw its masterful restoration. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castel_Beseno https://www.buonconsiglio.it/castel-beseno/

Beseno Castle, near Rovereto, is the largest feudal fortification in Trentino. It is well worth a visit. The view of the Etsch Valley is magnificent.

This is a great place to stop for a bite to eat. A great place to relax before heading back to Riva del Beeg
