EXCURSION DEVELOPMENT:
Even today, after a hundred years, you can see the well-preserved remains of the extraordinary logistics complex, a strategic point of the 6th Austro-Hungarian Infantry Division, built at almost 2000 meters.
A real "citadel" built at the end of the Strafexpedition in June 1916, equipped with all services: aqueduct and storage tanks, cinema, church, dozens of shelters in shacks and warehouses.
Also present is the important field hospital No. 1303 and the cemetery. Extraordinary the road network (today partly crossed by the Path of Peace) that connected the area with the first lines, especially those on the Ortigara; served by the important transit station of the cable car n. 13 coming from the Piana di Vezzena.
In addition to the imposing monument that overlooks the area and dedicated "To the Heroes", the remains of the Division Command are still evident, with the monument that commemorates its Commander, the Felmaresciallo A. E. Von Mecenseffy, who fell on October 6, 1917 on the slopes of the Corno di Campo Verde, near the saddle that today bears his name. At 13.45 from the Observatory near Cima Caldiera, codenamed "ELSA G." was given the order to fire an artillery shell on the only kilometer and a half of Karl-Strasse discovered and in view of the Italian observers. The fatal blow starts from the Italian lines near the artillery positions of the Campanella/Caldiera sector. One of the shrapnel of the explosion struck in full the Commander of the 6th Austro-Hungarian Division who died shortly after.
Today throughout the area, immersed in a unique naturalistic context, it seems to take a step back in history.
