In the heart of the Monte Sole regional park, this iron cross is very old. It stands in a suggestive position, but the erosion caused by wind and rain makes it difficult to read the dedication. It is one of the many suggestive points inside the Monte Sole park.

April 2024. The section of path 100 on the north side of Monte Sole is currently closed due to a landslide. We passed anyway because the alternative was to bike on our shoulders up to the top of the mountain, but there are 3 or 4 landslides and the last one is big, not easy to cross, but bike on our shoulders anyway. Many fallen trees. evaluating a variant is advisable.
