I enjoyed very much this journey through the Dolomites: very beautiful landscapes and nie encounters.
There are some interesting aspects of the Dolomites; the mountain lakes (the fishermen Jochn and Werner at the Anteselva, the Braies Lake-famos because of the TV series, the arrival of many tourits taking pitures and selfies-, Moreno, the photographer and the lake of Landro-the reflections of the mountains in the water-), Diego and the mountain bike descent in the Dolomites, the montain trails and tunnels dug in the mountain by the Italian army near the front line (later the first via ferrata, now there are 600 via ferrata in this region), the use of the zip lines for the trre trunks and after for the tourists), the South Tyrol as German speaking part of Italy ( this region became Italian after the first world war, The RAI-Südtirol with its programs in German, Julie Morat-the culinary blogger speaking of the diversity of the food, the Alpine traditions as the alphorn), the vineyards (the Gewurztraminer white wine, the 77years old Anna harvesting grapes, the cellars in the abbey of Novacella, the "Torggelen"- the new wine celebration, the drinking of the new wine, roasted chestnuts and meat, songs and dances-, in the village of Natz the Apple festival -the parade with Verena,the Apple queen-), Michael and Nicholas and the Dolomite crystals (the museum at San Candido with crystals and fossils collected by the geologist Michael, the visit of the mine of Ridnaun (the silver for making coins, then lead , zinc and cadmium, the end of mining in 1985, the visit of the mine with the tourist) and the chef Stephan Zippl ( the visit to the truck farmer Harald Gasser, the smooth flatsedge and others old vegetables, the restaurant and the meal with gnocchi , chestnuts and herbs, the family life harvesting chestnuts with his wife and children).
I enjoyed the encounters of Ismaël with Heïdi Sevestre-the glaciologist and guide throuth the Dolomites-, with Gianluca Tognoni, the meteorologist (the glaciers and the global warming), with Ivo Rabanser-the mountain guide, and Enrico Demetz , with Adriano Levis at Alleghe (the ice rink and the ice hockey team), with Sara and Pietro-the goat cheese and speck makers- with Fabrizia Meroi-the chef, the picking of herbs in the forest-, with Thierry Robert-Luciani-the man of the weather forecasts for the Dolomites area and with Marisa Irsara (the farmer and guesthouse manager); nice encounters with very kind men and women.
