I highly recommend making the descent to the Vaio dell'Orsa with the passage over the Tibetan bridge

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.

great view and definitely worth a visit!

Don't miss the ascent!

Getting to the shrine will be tiring as well but once you get there it is all worthwhile

Carved into the rock and perched on the edge of a cliff 775 m above the Adige Valley, the sanctuary of the Madonna della Corona offers a spectacular view and panorama. It is located in the municipality of Ferrara di Monte Baldo, not far from the hamlet of Spiazzi di Caprino Veronese, in the province and diocese of Verona.

With wonderful autumn weather we had a great view in all directions. Paths and markings are really good. Next time we will do the tour again!

The path from Monte Baldo is not difficult, but you should have sturdy shoes and sure-footedness.
