카레사나‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪9‬개의 천연기념물

small chapel with a cross at the top

Not just one cross greets the (mountain) hiker up here, but a group of three crosses – as the name "Monte TRE CROCI" suggests – we find on this mountain. A wayside cross or summit cross commemorates Jesus Christ, and always the one in the center. The two slightly smaller crosses standing to the sides were not erected here without reason: According to biblical tradition, Jesus Christ was not condemned to death by crucifixion and executed alone, but together with two criminals (see, for example, the Evangelist Luke 22:33): + "They came to the place called the Place of the Skull, and there they crucified him and the criminals, one on his right and the other on his left." +

Breathtaking view of Lake Orta, from up there you can see everything, Mottarone, Omegna, Orta San Giulio etc etc

nice place also great for pet picnic

The climb is definitely worth it!

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

The current complex, consisting of a church, bell tower and hermitage, was built in the first half of the 18th century. on a rocky spur, an exceptional panoramic point to embrace, with a single glance, the entire Cusio and the mountains of the eastern coast. For centuries the white granite rock on which the sanctuary stands was used as cutting stone.
