Download or read book The Great Dolomite Road Bolzano Cortina written by Enrico Massetti and published by Enrico Massetti Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-19 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Dolomites Road crosses three regions: Südtirol, Trentino, and Veneto. It is a classic itinerary to visit some of the most scenic parts of the Dolomites. I advised anyone driving along it is to begin in Bozen (Bolzano in Italian). The road is paved and very well developed; however, it is very curvy with a maximum gradient of 12% and requires real driving. I only partly recommended the route for teams because the streets are very narrow and confusing, especially from the Fassa Valley onwards. This guide will help you go on the entire road, with clear color maps that indicate the distance and time between places, in addition to photos of the localities. It gives you the route to follow between the different stages. Numerous viewpoints and parking areas on the Great Dolomite Road allow a panoramic view of the surrounding Dolomites. The guide starts with a description of the attractions in Bolzano, the Ötzi – the Iceman Museum, Bolzano's castles, and nearby locations. It then leads you in a drive from Bolzano to Cortina d'Ampezzo, going through the Carezza Lake, Val di Fassa, and the Tofana. It contains many reviews for the best-recommended restaurants at the location described. An extensive section full of useful information on how to get to Bolzano and Cortina, and how to go back, plus what kind of services are available to rent a bike, the favorite means of transportation to ride the Great Road, are available.

Download or read book The Dolomites and their legends written by Karl Felix Wolff and published by Edition Raetia. This book was released on 2013-02-09 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dolomites, a range of mountains in the Southern Alps, are widely celebrated for their bizarre rock formations, light colour hues, and pristine nature. It is no coincidence that UNESCO declared the Pale Mountains a World Heritage Site and that, every single year, they attract tourists and nature enthusiasts from all around the globe. This enchanting mountain landscape, which is oftentimes cool and forbidding, has left an indelible mark on its inhabitants. Their veritable treasure trove of myths, legends and mystery stories is an integral part of the rich cultural heritage of the Dolomites: the older generation has always passed down this heritage to a wide-eyed audience comprised of both the young and the young-at-heart. This compilation by Karl Felix Wolff (1879-1966), probably the most prominent regional writer-explorer of legends, contains well-known tales like "King Laurin and the Alp-Glow" and "The Kingdom of the Fanes" in addition to lesser known stories such as "The Nightingale of the Sasslong", "Iron Hand" and "Merisana's Wedding". This book is a unique collection on your perspective of the Dolomites.
