The open air museum

During the First World War, the front line ran directly along the hilltop of Monte Piana, where today there is an interesting open-air museum. Near the Rifugio Bosi hut, at the Heroes' Chapel, the hiking trail starts to the individual points of the open-air museum. Tunnel entrances, bomb craters, troop bases, barrel trenches and trenches remind us of that sad chapter in history. The entire hike takes between 2,5 and 4 hours and sometimes leads over exposed sections with rope safety (sure-footedness, the exposed parts can be avoided by using alternative paths). Otherwise, the circular route is relatively easy, as it is mostly flat.
