Beyond Lake Garda

hello droners, this is my latest video . I was in the Northern part of Italy last October and discovered some places nearby Lake Garda. Like Monte Baldo , Lake Toblino and Forte Ardietti. Please enjoy Here is some background of Castel Toblino and Forte Ardietti: Castle Toblino Built as an ancient temple on the sunny shores of Lake Toblino, Castel Toblino is nowadays one of the most renowned lake fortresses all over Trentino. Numerous legends and forbidden love affairs have made this pretty castle so famous. It was by the way Cardinal Bernardo Clesio in the 16th century and later on the nobles of Madruzzo, who made the castle look the way it does today. All that remains of the medieval castle layout are the wall to the west and a turret to the north-west. The cylindrical tower, the symbol of the castle, has a height of 20 metres and is therefore the main tower of the complex. Inside the castle there are beautiful frescos. Particularly remarkable is the music hall, where you can admire paintings of medieval musical instruments. Also interesting are the Wolkenstein Cellars and the rooms where the wine is pressed. Here the Nosiola grapes dry and ripen and are then processed into the famous Vino Santo Trentino. After many years of restoration work, Castel Toblino is now open to visitors. The castle also houses a bar and restaurant and it is also possible to stay overnight. Forte Ardietti: The Fort was built in two phases, in a first phase 1853-1859, excavating the moat and building the earthworks, the Carnot wall and the Caponiere. In the second phase, 1859-1861, the central foyer was built, the Fort thus showed itself as the hinge of the entrenched field and one of the best equipped forts in the quadrilateral, with a garrison of 612 men and 25 guns of various calibers, including 4 very modern rifled barrel and breech-loading pieces. The Fort remained Austrian until 1866 when, following the Third War of Independence, it became property of the Kingdom of Italy. This remained a real fortress until 1918, after which it was used as an ammunition depot and remained so until 1998, when it passed to the civil property.
