San Romedio Sanctuary

 shrine  Add category

The sanctuary is built on an impossibly steep, 70 meters high rocky side spur, deeply in the canyon of Romedio creek. The road reaches till below the rock, but it's more nice to walk there from the Sanzeno in the main valley. Park above the village, at Museo Retico, where the amusing gallery path starts. The ancient aquaduct was converted into an exposed, but completely secured path, suitable also for children. After some 45 minutes you reach below the sanctuary and then you need to ascend steeply up to it. After visiting it, getting acknowledged by the story of Romedius and his bear, it's very worth going another 5 minutes up, to a small cemetery, from which you have a great view down on the monastery.
