This is a small bridge over the Cosa, from which there is a splendid view of the white rock gorges of the torrent. Located between Calstelnovo and Travesio, the Puntic has been crossed for centuries by wayfarers and pilgrims. Today it can be encountered by following the mountain bike routes, which can also be covered on foot.

In addition to the Church of San Rocco, there are eleven other noteworthy religious buildings in Montereale.
Until 1906, the Valcellina, with the municipalities of Andreis, Barcis, Claut, Cimolais and Erto, which in the 19th century had a total of ten thousand inhabitants, remained isolated due to the absence of roads.
The area in which Montereale Valcellina stands has been inhabited for at least three thousand years: the oldest evidence of human settlements dates back to the 14th century B.C., the so-called Bronze Age. Some swords that have re-emerged from the gravel of the Cellina date back to this period, perhaps of a votive nature, linked to the cult of the torrent or of a deity linked to water.
Outside the inhabited centre, on the road leading to the Ravedis narrows, is the Church of San Rocco, surrounded by the cemetery. This space has been dedicated to religious worship for centuries: not far away, in fact, a small votive altar from the 1st century B.C., dedicated to the river deity Temavus, was found.
