The wooden spokes with the gold surface refer to the divinity and holiness in nature and at the same time seek reference with the cultural context of the site. This sign wants to draw attention to the particular location, the nature and the landscape.

Exhibit place Forcela de Furcia

Every three years, men young and old from Val Badia's twelve towns walk in procession to the old Jeunn bishop's see, which is now a monastery, located above the small town of Chiusa, in Val di Isarch. The pilgrimage is a tradition going back over the centuries and leads the faithful from Val Badia on a three-day hike that crosses the valleys and mountain ridges. The pilgrims arrive in the neighbouring valley, Funes, crossing the "Ju de Furćia" (the "cross" mountain ridge, also known as S. Zenon pass) at 2,293 m and following an ancient path that linked Val di Isarch to Val Badia. The area around the Furćia Alp falls within the Pöz-Odles nature reserve and is one of the "Natura 2000" areas, having more than earned a place among the Dolomites, a world heritage site. The "Ju de Furćia" ridge and the Furćia Alp are also included on European walking route no.2, which goes from Munich all the way to Venice.
