The Drei Zinnen

Today we did a circuit around the Drei Zinnen, a very distinguishable landmark within this region.  It was a cold morning and there was a frost on the ground to start but still it was a beautiful day.



This area has a very shattered past.  Over many years the area has been ruled over by many alpine countries and has been sought after by many a military commander.  The second part of our day saw us head over to the Austro-Hungarian border where there is still much evidence remaining including a lot of the former trenches.  Above built into the rock are the old gun positions and many tunnels.
Our return took us back to the hut and car park below the Drei Zinnen.  A fantastic day out.
