Description
The Dolomites became the scene of tragic wartime events between 1915 and 1917. This unique natural backdrop was the site of the South Tyrolean front of World War I, where hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Austrian and Italian armies fell. Even today, we encounter numerous traces of battles, old military paths, and former war positions in the terrain. The author of the book presents a total of 30 exceptionally attractive hikes that lead through the most interesting front-line locations – from the Sexten Dolomites to Marmolada, and up to the Lavarone plateau and the Pasubio massif. •Detailed trail descriptions supplemented with maps and numerous photographs •An informed look at historical and geopolitical contexts •Practical advice and information including tips on equipment and ensuring safety •GPS data available for download.
