How to reach the Church of St. Egidio
The little Church of St. Egidio at Corces/Kortsch was built around 700 years ago and on the southern and external walls, there is a large fresco of St. Christopher. In 1985, several other frescos were discovered inside the church dating from the 13th Century. On the first Sunday of Lent, an old Venosta Valley rite is still practised; namely, the throwing of burning discs so as to ‘crush’ or expel winter, known locally as the ‘Scheibenschlagen’.
