ロッツォディカドーレのおすすめランニングルート

ideal route in winter even when there is no snow

A place of memory to be treated with respect and pride. The interior is very suggestive and only makes you feel what those who presided over it felt. Absolutely worth a visit.

I found the Eremo dei Romiti to be a place with a soul. A soul given to it by the two managers, wife and husband, who took it over, where authenticity and real love for the territory are the founding values. Inside, around the fireplace, there are benches and many books that you can read while contemplating the view you can see from the window.

The Hermitage of the Romiti is the only convent that has existed in Cadore. It is located on the top of Mount Froppa, a panoramic balcony overlooking the town of Domegge and the peaks that overlook the Cadore Center (Antelao and Marmarole). It was built in 1720, after the friar Giovanni Maria Pinazza settled there together with some fellow villagers. The adjacent church was built four years later thanks to donations from private citizens and was dedicated to San Giovanni Battista. The eight friars, who lived in the convent for 90 years, were part of the lay penitents of the Romiti (or hermits). They lived on poverty and prayer, mainly growing potatoes and begging for what they needed. They were famous in the area for their honey production. It is said that the founder, who died in 1755, was buried under the floor of the church. The hermitage was abandoned on April 20, 1810 by decree of the French Emperor Bonaparte, who imposed the closure of monasteries throughout Europe. In 2009 it was restored by the Municipality of Domegge thanks to European funds and transformed into a hiking refuge. The Hermitage is located in a place that has maintained the charm of the past and today, in addition to being a destination for mountain enthusiasts, is increasingly becoming a cultural reference point. On June 24 of each year, the feast of St. John the Baptist, the inhabitants of Domegge go here to attend Mass which is celebrated in the small capital below.

Pretty small Italian town surrounded by mountains
