Open-air museums

During the First World War, the frontline ran across the Dolomites. The soldiers had to create paths and fortifications and live in the mountains under the most inhospitable conditions. The Alpinisteig path dates back to this time. The project Bellum Aquilarum offers guided tours through the outdoor museum Rotwand and barrier Mitterberg and organizes exhibitions on the theme. Also, when hiking to Monte Piana, you will get interesting insights into the mountain war in the Dolomites.

**Lake Toblach**
The picturesque lake near Toblach is a famous natural attraction. In summer, you can make a boat tour. In winter, Lake Toblach is perfect for ice skating and curling.
