The chimneys are tall simply for greater draft.

Complicated route, identified as S1, but in some points the path becomes difficult to find even with the Komoot track.

Trail is NOT S1. More like S3 most of the way. If you can't ride solid S2/S3 be prepared to spend more time walking then riding. Quite nice Trail. Everything is rideable.

The sanctuary of Re is famous for the story that tells of the occurrence of a miracle. In 1494, a certain Giovanni Zucono, in a rage at having lost at the game, threw a stone at a small fresco of the Madonna. The next morning some passers-by noticed that the fresco was starting to bleed. This event is testified by various documents and is today represented by frescoes. This Sanctuary and the surrounding area are worth a visit. Be careful of the Centovalli road, it is narrow, be extremely careful when going downhill and avoid staying in the middle of the road.
