스텔라넬로‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪19‬개의 천연기념물

On August 7, 2025, the lake is empty because it is being redone.

Lucinasco lake and S.Stefano church

the oratory of S.Bernardo is a beautiful little rock church recently restored by a private individual. An hour of peace and with an excellent fountain of drinkable water, taken from a nearby spring.

Rock church of S.Bernardo, drinkable water from a spring behind the church.

it is not specified that the water is drinkable but also not that it is not. ..

This great natural bathing area was my goal for the day! At the village of Diano Roncagli I searched intensively for the marked spot, but it was in the middle of the (even on foot!) inaccessible wilderness on the mountainside above the steep road up to the village. Shortly before the village I discovered a hiking trail that led up the mountain slope to the right of the road at an acute angle. After about 200 m, I finally reached a creek that tumbled down through a small gorge in steps, either by pushing my bike or on foot. At this point there were also the small pools of water in two of the photos, in which I could refresh myself. I then walked a little further along the path into the small, increasingly steep gorge, which was very impressive due to the great vegetation around the stream with tiered pools. There was no further path on the stream itself - everything was too steep and overgrown. The path itself then led out of the gorge steeply up the mountainside. The large pool in the photos in front of the rock face with a waterfall and men bathing was nowhere to be found. Unfortunately, the path marking on Komoot is inaccurate, the creek is not marked. In any case, it is worth the effort to visit this great place. I've corrected the positioning of this HL so that it now marks exactly where the pools of water are. I would be interested to know if anyone can find the "Bagno ristoratore sotto cascatella"!

Characteristic artificial lake surrounded by cypresses and weeping willows. The church, a national monument, not open to visitors, but particularly photogenic, deserves to be visited.

The church of S. Bernardo is located on a particularly beautiful stretch of the Via Marenca, which, climbing from Pantasina, climbs to Monte Squassi and then towards Colle D’Oggia. The church was abandoned until a few years ago but a private individual has practically rebuilt it and brought it back to life. On the day of St. Bernard, August 20, mass is celebrated with refreshments. The adjacent water source is very useful.
