Sehr schönes Kloster. Wir haben dort eine ca. 13 km lange Wanderung um den Klosterberg gemacht bei 30°C. Im Schatten des Waldes war das sehr angenehm. Es gibt Einkehrmöglichkeiten und zum Schluss besuchten wir noch das Kloster. Die Wanderung ist sehr bekannt. Einfach mal im Internet checken, es gibt nur 2 Ringwege um den Berg. Einen kurzen und einen langen die beide nahe dem Kloster beginnen und enden.

A unique location. The history of this place is very antique and peculiar. In fact, Laverna was a paganic idol of ancient age. Was the protector of the thieves and the assassins living and hiding in the forest. After, the Monaster was builted and the place change name in La Verna. The Statue of San Franceso remember us the date of 1218 (hope i remwmber well), when he has received the sacred stimmate. The place is surrounded by a very fascinating forest, with very high trees. Up on the rocks, the place is very well defensed and solid. The restaurant, inside, in generous and very tasteful: whatever you will decide to eat, the prices will be very low and the taste ... very high ! Remember: it takes time to drive there and the street is not so comfortable, especially for children. But it is a must to be visit, in Italy. Absolutely.

Absolutely STUNNING PLACE whether you are believer or not. It is very suggestive place in the mountains in province of Arezzo (Tuscany). It consists of couple of buildings of sanctuary, church, chapels, place where Saint Francis received the stigmas, small museum, shop. You can feel strong spirituality and huge peace there. When i entered the church, one of Franciscan monk played the grand piano and I burst into tears without reason. We didn't planned this visit on our journey, we were with our dog, which was not a problem everywhere outside. Please pay attention, there is about 5-7 degrees colder in this valley, we suggest to take jumper or jacket with you. We ate local "piadinas" in small bar near the parking place. Surely WORTH OF NEXT VISIT AGAIN.

One of the favorite places of St Francis; and for good reason! Wonderful blend of sacred architecture and nature. Don't miss going down into the caves. The place is drenched in prayer.

This place is simply amazing . It is so peaceful and quiet and the views are mind blowing

A beautiful peaceful Monastery. Stunning views all around it. Beautiful artworks & a sense of calmness in the Sanctuary.

Der Fußweg nach LaVerna ist sehr anstrengend Aber das Kloster ist super schön und eine Übernachtung ist sehr zu empfehlen

Lovely place to visit. Great to start walking from.

Beautiful place to experience the serenity and grace of the Franciscan spirituality. A place so dear to St Francis of Assisi. Set amongst a hill top cliff, it speaks of all things Francis, nature, serenity, wildlife.

Der Weg bginnt am Parkplatz und es geht durch den Wald bergauf. Dann erreicht man das obere Areal. Die Mönche sind gerade zum Gottesdienst versammelt und man sieht sich um. Ich befindet mich in dem Säulen-Gang der zu der Grotte führt, als die Tür zur Kapelle aufgeht und sich die Mönche langsam in zwei Reihen durch den Gang singend auf mich zubewegen. Deren Gesang und die Akustik sind überwältigend. Als die Gruppe nach ca. zwei Minuten an mir vorbeigezogen ist, bin ich erst einmal sprachlos…. Ich bin kein sehr gläubiger Mensch, aber dieses erlebt zu haben, hat mit tief berührt und mir für den Rest des Tages einiges zum Nachdenken gegeben! Es versteht sich von selbst, dass man ein solches Ereignis weder filmen noch fotographieren kann.

Incredible place to see high up on windy road with handicap parking and also they serve nice home made food and wine . I was so amazed with the atmosphere that didn't thin about taking many pictures of beautiful paintings

Beautiful place. Great pilgrimage destination, got a restaurant and hostel onsite

Naturpark und Kloster! Abgelegen und Ruhe. Wunderschöne Landschaft. Es braucht eine Weile bis man ankommt, aber Ausblick entschädigt 1000 fach.

A lovely morning. A very friendly and helpful nun explained the different areas of the Santuario.

Sehr schöne Wanderung möglich, ein ruhiger und stimmungsvoller Ort

Another sacred sanctuary loved by St Francis, where he went to spend time to pray in silence & solitude. Well-known art work by Della Robbia to be seen in the chapels there.

Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, La Verna is a place of unparalleled natural beauty and spiritual significance. Its rugged cliffs and lush forests provide a stunning backdrop to the iconic La Verna Sanctuary, where St. Francis of Assisi once communed with nature and received the stigmata. A pilgrimage to this hallowed site promises a profound connection with both the divine and the wonders of the Italian landscape.

La Verna is an incredibly beautiful place high up on a mountain with fantastic views. I am not religious but I always get a peaceful, calm , almost religious feeling whenever we visit.

Stunning location for a very important Catholic monastery, St. Francis of Assisi.

Serene and peace. The architecture is impressive. The history and the views are breathtaking
