Molina Waterfalls

Very beautiful park with 13 waterfalls if you take the black route. I would recommend that everyone wear decent shoes. The paths are uneven and sometimes muddy. Great route, it doesn't get boring.

An artificial lake that is always suggestive to look at...when it is empty you can even walk inside it

Very interesting shallow water.

The lake, due to the heavy rains this season, has such a high level that it submerges part of the surrounding vegetation, creating a surreal environment. To be seen!

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.

A very nicely landscaped park with 3 different routes to choose from. You definitely need sturdy shoes. With flip-flops, this quickly becomes dangerous, since there are also a lot of vertical meters to be covered.
