Hiking

Along the way there is a statue of the Virgin, which is housed in a somewhat bizarre "tree trunk".

The whole thing seems a bit strange.

Hiking

In view of the small Marian shrine, which the hiker encounters here in the form of a niche worked into a standing tree stump with a Madonna figure, I would like to give the observer a brief thought – essentially a wish for a blessing – from Saint Padre Pio (Pio da Pietrelcina, 1887-1968) to take along:
+ “May the Mother of Jesus and our Mother always smile upon your spirit and obtain from her most holy Son every heavenly blessing.”
