In Dobbiaco/Toblach. We stayed in the impressive, ancient family home owned by the family of Lisa, enjoyed her hospitability, and took a short sightseeing walk in the charming town of Dobbiaco. 

Toblach/Dobbiaco lies at 1245 m above sea level, at the entrance to the picturesque Höhlensteintal/Val di Landro valley. The area surrounding Toblach/Dobbiaco is among the sunniest in the entire valley.
