At about 600 meters, this church, probably in the 11./12. Century was built. At that time, such plateaus as the one on which the church was built had much more (land-) economic importance than today. This explains the construction of such a large church instead of a small chapel - once upon a time enough people lived there. Inside the church are valuable frescoes.

Hiking

Simply a highlight of this church with original paintings from times long past. A woman from the local community explained the restoration work from 2010-2012 to us in detail. Saint San Bernard was probably also an exorcist, which is why he is depicted with a little devil in many places in the church. The church from the 11th / 12th centuries Century was expanded several times.
