Garden on Lake Endine and canoeing

The garden of Castello di Monasterolo lies on the shore of Lake Endine and is home to more than 700 tree species. More than 700 tree species give the grounds their own botanical character.

The garden’s location on the shore and the lake’s water surface represent two different sides of Lake Endine.

Mosaic art in the churchyard and step-free accessibility

In the churchyard of the Parrocchia del Santissimo Salvatore, there is a Stations of the Cross made entirely of mosaics, based on designs by the artist Trento Longaretti. The Parrocchia del Santissimo Salvatore is fully accessible at ground level, including for people with reduced mobility. For people with reduced mobility, this step-free and fully accessible layout is specific information relevant to planning a visit.
