Stenico is the jewel of Giudicarie, a quiet valley in Trentino<\/strong>, and is the perfect intertwining of medieval alleys,<\/strong> typical houses, and noble<\/strong> palaces<\/strong>. Among the streets and squares with beautiful fountains,<\/strong> you can breathe a suggestive<\/strong> atmosphere<\/strong>, where time seems to have stopped and everything flows more slowly. Above us, perched on a rocky spur, there’s the Stenico Castle<\/strong> which seems to dominate the entire valley; while around we can admire the Brenta<\/strong> Dolomites<\/strong>, which invite us to explore the woods and the mountain landscapes. Thus we begin to visit this enchanting village, discovering all it has to offer us.<\/p>\n

Castel Stenico, the residence of the Prince Bishop of Trento<\/h2>\n
\"Stenico's
Michele Zeni, Archivio Parco Naturale Adamello Brenta<\/div><\/div>\n

We must start from here, from the symbol of Stenico. This imposing medieval fortress<\/strong> dating back to the 12th century<\/strong> testifies to the importance of these places throughout history. It was owned by the Prince Bishop of Trento<\/strong> who over the years transformed the building into a valuable residence capable of controlling the territory with the presence of one of his officials, the Captain of the Giudicarie, who administered the area both on a military, economic and political level.<\/p>\n

In this period, which the tower of hunger where prisoners were condemned to die of starvation dates back to, the castle of Stenico was the political, administrative, and judicial center of the entire valley<\/strong>. After that, it was used by the Austrian government as the seat of the Imperial Royal Judgment and Tax Office and, after the ownership was transferred to the Italian state property, it was used as a Magistrate’s Court.<\/p>\n

Putting aside its fascinating history, Castel Stenico<\/strong> today represents one of the best-preserved<\/strong> and most fascinating fortified complexes<\/strong> in the whole of Trentino<\/strong>. Visiting the fortress it is easy to imagine the life that took place inside it. You can also admire ancient artifacts<\/strong> and complex mechanisms<\/strong> of ancient coffers<\/strong> and, not least, from its gardens and rooms you can observe the nature that surrounds it.<\/p>\n

Rio Bianco waterfalls<\/h2>\n

It’s true that the entire Adamello Brenta Natural Park and the surroundings of Stenico deserve to be seen, but it also certain that the Rio Bianco waterfall<\/strong> represents the pearl<\/strong> of this territory. Of karst origin, it is located a short distance from the castle of Stenico and disappears during the winter and then reappears with the arrival of spring. You can reach it with an easy<\/strong> walk<\/strong>, suitable for children and adults, among suggestive<\/strong> views<\/strong> of the village and passing through the enchanting Botanical<\/strong> Garden<\/strong>. Arriving is a real emotion<\/strong>: in front of us all the power of nature. You can go up to the bridge<\/strong> that crosses the thunderous waters of Rio Bianco river. Watching the jump up close is truly exhilarating<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Arte Stenico wood<\/h2>\n

It is so beautiful that we had already talked about it here<\/a>: Arte Stenico wood (Bosco Arte Stenico) is the perfect combination of art and nature. It is a suggestive path that develops in the woods, near the town of Stenico, where there are not only trees, plants, and traces of animals, but also fascinating contemporary sculptures<\/strong> and works<\/strong> created strictly with natural<\/strong> materials<\/strong>. So, a place where the works of nature meet those created by man.<\/p>\n
