This place - which can be reached, among other things, on the "Path of Silence" (Sentiero del Silenzio) - was named "Papa Giovanni Paolo II." (Pope John Paul II.), whose real name is Karol Wojtyla. He was born in Wadowice, Poland, in 1920 and, after the death of Pope John Paul I in 1978, came as a complete surprise to almost everyone, and was elected successor at the head of the Catholic Church. As a young man he had experience of dictatorships under the Nazi injustice regime of German-occupied Poland and later under the communist rule. His support for freedom efforts, especially in Eastern Europe, and his part in the fall of the so-called "Iron Curtain" was correspondingly great and passionate during the time of the so-called "Cold War".
Karol Wojtyla (Giovanni Paolo II.) died in 2005 after a long illness in the Vatican.

Suggestive and easy to reach even in winter. The route is sunny and feasible even in the snow, if beaten you don't need any special equipment.
