Very beautiful waterfall along the way.

Since it had rained a lot in the last few days, the waterfall was also a bit bigger

Sturdy footwear recommended! If you're planning on going with your family, plan to spend double the time! It's worth it!

Beautiful 🌈Section of the 🥾Blue Path🟦

Along the lake of Mergozzo there is a path, along which you can find, depending on the season, a small waterfall and a fountain, dug directly into the rock.

The German-language television series “Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity” - which I can recommend without reservation - is dedicated to the places with UNESCO World Heritage sites on all continents and eras in short film clips. This includes the “SACRI MONTI” in northern Italy (there are a total of eight of these “Holy Mountains” in Piedmont and a ninth in Lombardy), which are presented to the culture-loving viewer in a 15-minute clip. This can be accessed in the ARD media library at the following link: => https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/heilige-berge-in-piemont-italien-folge-396/3sat/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS84ODgxMzc2

It is worth a little detour to enjoy the 360 degree panorama. There is a small refreshment at the top

One of the few saints who are also highly valued outside of Christianity is San Francesco, known in German-speaking countries as Francis of Assisi. Francis was born in Assisi in 1181/82 and died in 1226. In his youth, the son of wealthy parents, he was more of a bon vivant, but later turned to Christ. In the half-ruined little church of San Damiano, located on the hillside outside the city walls of Assisi, he was praying one day and heard the voice of Christ coming down from the cross, calling on him to “rebuild his church”. At first he took this request literally and restored the church building; later he realized that this was primarily about the church as the community of believers. Many people joined him and the Order of the Friars Minor of Francis of Assisi was created. Today there are three male branches in the broad Franciscan religious family: the Franciscans, the Minorites and the Capuchins; as well as two female ones: the Franciscan Sisters and the Poor Clares. His Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Assisi, the Basilica of San Francesco, which did not exist during Francis' lifetime, is nevertheless one of the great "original shrines" of the Franciscan religious family.
