40 - Tour of the Fortresses
<p>During the First Great World War (1914-1918), the Alpe Cimbra, close to the Austro-Italian border, found itself on the front line. Witnesses of those tragic events are the seven Austro-Hungarian fortresses that from Cima Vézzena to Dosso delle Somme formed the fortified barricade of the Altpiani. They are located at the top of the heights, in panoramic positions, the destination of exciting excursions.</p>
<p>It is the Forts of the Great War that are the real points of interest of this tour, which combines an interest in history with the beauty of the places, the wide views that open onto the heights crowning the Alpe Cimbra, the deep valley of Terragnolo and the Pasubio mountain massif.</p>
