Hiking

The small religious monument encountered by hikers and walkers here stands just a stone's throw from the wildlife protection tower. A metal plaque depicts the Virgin Mary. This is the type known as the "Madonna of Mercy," and it essentially represents the same image as in the popular Marian hymn: "Mary, spread your mantle wide, make it our shelter and protection..."
