Passo della Crosetta, located at an altitude of 1,127 meters, is a strategic Alpine pass that connects the Treviso plain, in the municipality of Fregona, to the Cansiglio plateau and the province of Belluno. Nestled in a majestic setting of ancient woods, dominated by beech and fir trees, the pass represents a privileged gateway to one of the most fascinating natural areas in the Veneto region. A very popular destination in every season, it is a reference point for motorcyclists and cyclists who appreciate its scenic hairpin bends, but also an ideal starting point for hikers, ski mountaineers, and trekking enthusiasts heading towards Monte Pizzoc or the Cansiglio plain. At the pass, the presence of the historic refreshment area and rest stops allows for a regenerating break, combining the wild beauty of the mountains with the typical hospitality of the area.

Whoever wishes to say a short prayer to Christ the Redeemer in this sanctuary may perhaps use the following text by San Francesco (Francis of Assisi), which he often and gladly spoke, and which he even left to posterity in his spiritual testament: + »We adore you, Lord Jesus Christ, [here] and in all your churches throughout the whole world, and we praise you, because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.« The Franciscan Peter Fobes OFM comments on this in a publication as follows: “He expands the faith in the presence of God in the space where he says the prayer to all the churches in the world. He wishes to adore him who has redeemed the world in all the holy places of the world.”

Il Molinetto della Croda, in the Lierza valley, represents one of the most evocative corners of the Marca Trevigiana. In its almost four centuries of history, the ancient mill with a stone grinder has managed to maintain its charm and enchant artists and visitors.

The parish church of San Lorenzo in Montagna is located in the homonymous hilly hamlet of Vittorio Veneto. Known for being the center of the smallest parish in the entire diocese in terms of population, this reality tells a centuries-old story of rural devotion. It became a curated church in 1605, the original structure was rebuilt in 1637, but it long lacked fundamental elements such as the tabernacle and the baptistery, which were only introduced in the 18th century. The current building is due to the initiative of the parish priest Don Giovanni Mattana, who led its reconstruction in 1866. Immersed in a suggestive pre-Alpine panorama, the church represents an authentic symbol of community identity and resilience, preserving the sober and spiritual charm of small religious centers of the past.

The parish church of the Most Holy Redeemer, located in Santa Croce del Montello in the municipality of Nervesa della Battaglia, is a significant place of worship for the Diocese of Treviso. The first structure was built between 1899 and 1900, and was opened for worship precisely on the occasion of the Holy Year of the Redeemer. During the First World War, the building found itself at the heart of the fighting along the Piave line and suffered almost total destruction. It was rapidly rebuilt on the old foundations between 1920 and 1922, and then enlarged in the thirties with the addition of the side aisles and the bell tower. The building today presents itself in a neo-Romanesque style, with a stone facade and a three-nave interior embellished with a checkerboard floor in Verona and Botticino marble, while the apse houses the statues of the Redeemer and Saint Joseph.
