The 1st World War (WW I.) has left one´s mark in the alps. If you have some shots of old military positions, cannons or old pictures, please add them here.
giving a look to the sites where young soldiers (both Italian and Austrian) spent very cold winters with approssimative gear (and lost their life) can make us a little humbler both as men and as climbers ... that's good
I've lead my children in some of these sites just for it, and has been a great lesson
Yes it is. To see the old rotten wood-ladders in the Dolomites makes yourself very meditative. They are silent witnesses of courage and bravery. Sebastian
