From the Grotta del Cepp locality, numerous paths begin that lead to Monte Boletto, Monte Bolettone and Alpe del Vicerè in the Albese Valley.

Ruins of a small cave castle, clearly visible and with exposed access in the rock walls north of Mendrisio. A straight, three-story wall closes the natural cave. The main openings and probably the namesake are a high entrance and two windows. There is a cast iron window above the climb. Several embrasures and light hatches have been preserved. According to architectural criteria, the castle dates back to the 15th century. It probably served as a defensive refuge for a local leadership group. The Tanùn (Tanone), another cave on the ascent, which is closed off with a low wall, was probably related to Tri Böcc. An at least indirect connection is conceivable with the grotto hermitage of San Nicolao, which, according to tradition, was built by Loterio Rusca in 1413 in a higher rock echelon.
