About
A climbing route built for soldiers during World War I in Italy's Dolomites is the world's first underwater farm.
Near Alta Badia, in the Italian Dolomites, the horrendous violence of World War I has left behind a kind of frozen memorial of the mountains. To visit, you take what’s called “The Iron Road.” To traverse them on a regular basis was necessary in places like the Alps, where daily traversing of mountainsides was necessary. Protected paths with ladders were set up to connect villages and their grazing pastures.
