"Oral tradition says that here, on the 15th of August, the day of the Assumption of Mary, many years ago, a miracle happened. A terrible storm was raging and the ships at sea would easily have sunk if not for the top of the cliff above the Bay of the Moon appeared to Mary. The sea immediately calmed down, the storm stopped, and the sailors were not killed. The locals put up a cross in thanks, and even today they tell of the footprints and tears imprinted in the stone, where Mary wept to save the sailors. Long time to come after that, passing ships blew their trumpets in thanks to Mary."

...the Piran/Portoroz region offers not only the sea and the coast, but also several hiking trails and many good restaurants, cafés, and bars! 🥾👀😋

Each of the summit crosses, which hikers often encounter at prominent locations, whether with or without the body of the crucified Christ, invites passersby to a brief spiritual rest. Perhaps one or another will be able to encounter God here in a brief prayer. As a prerequisite for a completely different mystical experience of encountering God, beyond such a small sacred monument, Hape Kerkeling, who made a pilgrimage on the Camino Frances in 2001, writes: "I am becoming freer here every day (...) Through all the emotional frequencies, I slowly tuned myself into one frequency and had a wonderful reception. Total, serene emptiness is the state that creates a vacuum that God can then completely fill in a relaxed manner." (Hape Kerkeling in "I'm Off Then")
