Someone got the title wrong in the valley. Otherwise, an impressive sight.

Unfortunately, I didn't have more time to visit the little church. But it is beautifully located between the guesthouse Humlerhof and another farm. For me, the turn-off for the return was marked at the nearby parking lot on the Brenner motorway, from where I started my short run.

Unfortunately, there's no bike path and there's a lot of traffic. Not a great place for me as a cyclist. Really bad for descending or climbing the Brenner Pass. The Italians can do better.
