Holiday apartment in Salobbi: History, Trails and Nature

A holiday apartment in Salobbi gives you access to a place where historic buildings, trails through the surrounding area and distinctive natural features are connected with the character of the village. When planning your stay, it is worth looking at the village’s different aspects: you can discover culture, compare trails and use your preferred way of spending the day as a guide when choosing your accommodation.

Salobbi Among Old Houses and Castel Vigna

Salobbi has old, imposing houses built from very large blocks of stone. Castel Vigna is one of the historic traces found here. The complex was built at the beginning of the 17th century by Giovanni Cipriano Thun. Below Maso Vigna lie the red ruins of Castel Vigna, partly hidden by the forest. This brings the village character, architectural history and visible traces of times gone by together within a compact thematic area.

Church History in the Village

The branch church of Chiesa dei Santi Andrea ed Egidio is located in Salobbi. The church of Sant’Egidio in Salobbi was mentioned in 1537 under the name Chapel of Saint Andrew the Apostle. On July 7, 1515, Bishop Michele Jorba, the vicar of the Bishop of Trento Bernardo Cles, consecrated an altar dedicated to Saint Giles in the Chapel of Sant’Egidio in Salobbi. Historically, the church of Sant’Egidio belonged to the branch churches dependent on San Floriano. Those interested in sacred history will find several precisely documented dates and references here that add depth to the visit.

Discover Trails from Salobbi

The trails also give your stay a tangible framework. The municipal route from Brez to Maso Forcola, via Salobbi and on to Castel Vigna, passes the large farmstead of Maso Forcola before reaching the houses of Salobbi. The route also reaches the large building of Maso Vigna. From Salobbi, an access route to Palù Longa leads via the Grola–Roncola forest road. SAT trail O114 leads from Salobbi to Pra del Signor and is 10,820 metres long. You can compare the different routes and the length of the SAT trail and plan your day around the route you prefer.

Nature and Access to the Village

The “Spadone” pear variety used to predominate in the meadows around Salobbi. Near Palù Longa stands a monumental larch estimated to be 500 to 600 years old and measuring 5 metres in circumference.
