On July 13, 1987, John Paul II also climbed the Knieberg on a mountain hike in the Italian Dolomites. A plaque and a statue are reminiscent of this visit of the Holy Father.

Mountain biking

Easily reachable on foot after parking your bikes in a convenient clearing at the start of the path. The view from up here is truly spectacular.

Hiking

The summit of Col Quaterna is stunning, an absolute must-see. You'll have a 360-degree view of the valleys. A marvel.
