Hidden Treasures: From the church of San Lorenzo to Bussè hill
<p>An easy walk that connects two viewpoints near Tenno: the Grom hill in the village of Frapporta and the educational nature path on the Bussè hill.</p> <p> </p>
<p><strong>Tenno castle</strong> overlooks the Alto Garda area at the northern end of the lake. The <strong>medieval village of Frapporta</strong> sprang up around its walls and still retains its original layout today. Here you will also find the <strong>Romanesque church of San Lorenzo</strong> 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.</p> <p>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 <strong>UNESCO Biosphere Reserve</strong>.</p>
