Hiking

The new Santa Maria church is also a museum for burial sites. Many old gravestones are on display in the church. From the symbols on the stone slabs you can sometimes tell what profession the deceased had (scissors = tailor/ a pair of feet = the person once went on a pilgrimage/ coat of arms + sword = knight). It is very interesting to see what was important in the past. Many people could not read or write in the past, but such symbols are understood by everyone.
