Description | |||||
The
Dolomites. The mountain range in the north of Italy features some of the
most beautiful landscapes in the world, with vertical walls, sheer
cliffs and a high density of narrow, deep and long valleys. The charming
peaks are renowned for their enchanting shapes and colour: changing at
down and rose at sunset. The inhabitants have created over the centuries
an impressive network of breathtaking roads to travel from one valley to
another with dozens of passo's in between. It's not only the serene beauty, it's also the gripping past, which are mentioned when you read about the Dolomites. The mountains always formed a natural and linguistic border since the Middle Ages. It's most tragic period was during World War I when the front line between Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces passed exactly through the mountain range. The static warfare of almost 4 years had a fatal ending for ten thousands of soldiers, who died more often from hunger and cold than from hostile projectiles. Fortunately there have been fought more peaceful battles over the last century when the Giro d'Italia passed by. The Dolomites form the inspiring décor when the 3 weeks cycling race comes to its climax and the riders fight for a stage win or their ranking in the G.C. Spectacle guaranteed. |
