Referring to a quote from the exceedingly beloved Holy Father, Pope John XXIII (Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, 1881 to 1968), + “Every day is a good day to be born, and a good day to die.” Christiane Völkel has made a brief reflection, which I would like to offer to the observer of the small sacred monument towering here: “In this thought, it becomes clear that we Christians can have a different perspective on life than people who lack this dimension of hope for the fulfillment of life. Whoever succeeds in trustingly placing their finiteness into God's hands can escape the fear of death.”

Very difficult, partly more of a hiking trail than a bike tour

easy walk up to mount PICCARO at an altitude of about 300m, beautiful view from above (Borghetto, Loano and Pietra Ligure) while continuing up to mount Croce you can also see Ceriale, Albenga, with its island... recommended, also for families with children!

Panoramic point on the whole coast and the hinterland. Too bad for the complete lack of springs in the area…

Ancient abbey founded before the year 1000 from which you can admire a wonderful panorama! Easily reachable from the Toirano yoke or via steep paths coming from Toirano. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbazia_di_San_Pietro_in_Varatella

A tap connected to the pipes. A very precious source of water, since there are no others in the area.

Very beautiful view, both on the sea and towards the mountains. Reachable by a path with ups and downs from the Sanctuary, or with uphill paths from Toirano or Borghetto
