Really impressive. The path of the crucifixion is very elaborately designed. Up here there is also a restaurant with a great outdoor area and some hiking trails. Unfortunately we didn't get a view of the lake because everything disappeared in a murky soup.

It's basically the first Italian town across the Swiss border and very popular. No less beautiful for that, with a lovely waterfront promenade.
