Descrizione
Starting from the village of Griante, the path climbs along the woods offering picturesque sights of the lake, following several niches with mosaics. The church is located in a splendid panoramic position near a rock called St. Martin Stone, in the homonymous park.
We’ll come back passing throught the small rural hamlet of Rogaro, to see its historic nucleus and the nearby medieval watch tower. Then, we’ll reach the shore of the lake to walk along the Greenway Path and close the loop, passing in front of Villa Carlotta.

About the church
S. Martin’s church was built in the XVI century. A legend tells that a shepard girl found in a cave in the mountain a wooden statue representing the Madonna with Child. The statue was brought down to the parish church where it miraculously disappeared and was found again on the St. Martin’s Stone: this was interpreted as the desire of the Virgin to be venerated on the mountain.
