As we all know, Europe has no shortage of beautiful scenery, and the style of southern Europe and the style of Northern Europe are fascinating. But there is such a place, in the north of southern Europe, that is, the fusion of Italian enthusiasm and German architectural style, the locals call this Italy's "Little Germany".
It's the Dolomites.
Before I saw this article,
When you think of Italy, you may think of: Milanese fashion, football, the Lion King, classic Roman holidays, Italian cuisine, cappuccino, bridge of sighs, the Colosseum, the Grand Canal, Venice...
But is that all Italy has to offer?
No
It's not the most beautiful Italy...
Because, most people don't know, Italy still has a Dolomites.
Known as the "back garden of God's legacy in the Alps," The Dolomites will never disappoint every traveler.
A village at the foot of the Dolomites
In my days in the Dolomites, I often felt like I was in a dream.
When the sun slowly rises, the first rays of sunlight sprinkled through the layers of pine trees through the windows, with the early morning wind blowing into the house, are thus awakened by nature. Then, the dream begins.
The Dolomites are one of the most unique mountains in the Alps, consisting of eighteen peaks at a height of about three thousand meters, with small towns scattered at the foot of the mountains and halfway up the mountainside, interspersed with rich lakes and wetlands. It was listed as a World Heritage Site in 2009.
The scenery here varies throughout the year, in the winter it is a ski resort, and in the summer, it becomes a hiking paradise. Leave the sound of stepping on the snow in the winter, and listen to it slowly until the summer.
Here the mountains are magnificent, the peaks are full of strange peaks, the posture is unique and charming, and the mountains embrace many charming villages. The air is pure and picturesque, making it a paradise for outdoor sports and photography. Every dawn and sunset, everything in the mountains is dyed pink and then fades to a dark red, a phenomenon known as the world-famous "Alpine Light". The world-famous Italian mountaineering emperor Messner, who was born here, said: "Although it is not the highest mountain in the world, it is the most beautiful.".
The light of the Alps
The Dolomites, known as the "back garden of God's legacy in the Alps", is different from the common Alps, and the Dolomites mountains are like sharp knives plunging straight into the sky, as if to cut a hole in the blue sky; the steep rock walls are perpendicular to the ground, like a giant sculpture that has been changed out of thin air. The rocky peaks are mostly yellowish or gray, with no grass at all, and they are extremely dazzling in the sun. The mountain mass is a kind of limestone called dolomite, which has an apt translation name - "dolomite", which is a very unique form of mountain formed by the weathering and erosion of ancient coral reefs. There are 18 peaks with an average altitude of more than 3,000 meters and 9 natural parks.
The mountains of the Dolomites are magnificent, complex and diverse. Imagine the peaks, the valleys, or the open, or the hidden, or the sharp, or the soft. This features beautiful scenery, such as highland meadows, castles in the clouds, dolomites, rose gardens, blade mountains, Alpine lights, three peaks mountains, postcard valleys... It brings people a different visual shock.
Driving on the winding roads of the Dolomites, looking down at the Dolomites Mountain, known as the "back garden of the Alps left by God", the golden sunlight sprinkles on the snowy mountains and towns, reflecting the golden light.
With such a beautiful scenery, who wouldn't want to meet two or three close friends, or bring the most loved ones to experience the quiet idyllic scenery?
