아비오‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

A real highlight even without direct contact with the waterfalls. From the market square in Campione it takes 10-15 minutes to get to the tunnel if you are in good shape. From there you have a special view of the water system and can cool off in the flowing water in front of the tunnel.

Great hiking trail/climb through the gorge. You should have suitable footwear and some alpine experience! There are wire ropes on some of the rock walls to hold on to. Use these > danger of slipping!

I haven't walked such a beautifully embedded path for a long time.

From this point you can enjoy a wonderful, if not the best, view of the rock church of Madonna della Corona near Spiazzi. On the way to the pilgrimage church you pass a Stations of the Cross with life-size figures and you keep looking down into the Adige Valley. The highest pilgrimage church in Italy is at an altitude of 773 meters and was built directly into and on the rock face. It is unmistakable that the church has merged with the rock, because the west and parts of the north wall consist largely of the rock of the mountain. The wall behind the altar of the Madonna della Corona is unusual and contains the miraculous image, a figure of the Virgin Mary with the body of Jesus on her knees (Pietà), surrounded by a crown of thorns and five groups of angels. The pilgrimage church was built in the 15th century, but there is said to have been a hermit church there from the 12th century. In 1982 the church was given the title “Basilica minor” and on April 17, 1988, Pope John Paul II visited the place of pilgrimage.

Beautiful waterfall in the gorge near Campione.

Danger. The path to the waterfalls is now pretty clearly cordoned off. You can still see a little bit and the landscape is still impressive. But you are denied the experience of being right on the water. It is possible to bypass the barrier if you have the will, but it is not recommended.

Can also be reached from Campione without a tunnel. But it has now been cordoned off so that you can only “catch” a glimpse.

The San Giovanni creek usually carries water all year round, so a walk along the creek is usually very refreshing, even if it is very steep uphill.
