“Mountain Refuge 1” Dolomites, Italy 24 Hours Series ©2005 I tried to put the bombings behind me, and in a few days had joined a hiking group. Our mission: to traverse some of the same mountain passes where Austrians and Italians had battled in World War I. We would stay the night at a mountain refuge. Nearby, Italians had tunneled into the rock, and Austrians had blasted off entire promontories. |
