    Tips

    September 6, 2025

    Not just one cross greets the (mountain) hiker up here, but a group of three crosses – as the name "Monte TRE CROCI" suggests – we find on this mountain. A wayside cross or summit cross commemorates Jesus Christ, and always the one in the center. The two slightly smaller crosses standing to the sides were not erected here without reason: According to biblical tradition, Jesus Christ was not condemned to death by crucifixion and executed alone, but together with two criminals (see, for example, the Evangelist Luke 22:33):
    + "They came to the place called the Place of the Skull, and there they crucified him and the criminals, one on his right and the other on his left." +
