In the late afternoon/evening, cloud formation and local rain showers are possible. Minimum temperatures between 8°C and 10°C, maximum temperatures between 20°C and 28°C. "This time you got lucky:" ? Monica admits ? "we'll go to the mountains." "Ciccio, read which hike they suggest." ? Monica adds. >read tip Tip of the day Look carefully along the paths: you may find small fossils, witnesses to a time when what are now mountain peaks were at the bottom of a vast tropical sea. These 280 million year old cliffs are particularly impressive at sunrise and sunset, when they glow a fiery red: this is the phenomenon we call "enrosadira". About this topic read the legend of King Laurin's Rose Garden in another article in this newsletter. The waiter collects all the empty dishes, glasses and cups from the table. Then he goes to the kitchen. >read legend A legend of the Dolomites King Laurin's Rose Garden Many, many years ago, on the Catinaccio mountain chain lived King Laurin, the cunning king of dwarves, who spent his time digging deep down into the earth to find precious stones. Among his various treasures, the king owned a magic belt, which allowed him to become invisible. One day, the King of Adige held a great feast and invited all the aristocrats in the area, except King Laurin. Nevertheless, the king of dwarves went to the feast anyway, wearing his belt so that he wouldn't be seen by anybody. Similde, the king's beautiful daughter, was also at the feast. Laurin fell in love with her at first sight and, exploiting the fact that he was invisible, he kidnapped her and took her to his kingdom on the Catinaccio mountain range. He was so in love with the young girl that, by casting a spell, he covered the mountain with a very beautiful layer of red roses. King Adige, however, did not sit on his hands and, together with his army, he marched towards King Laurin's kingdom to free his daughter. The king of dwarves was convinced that no-one would track him down because, thanks to his belt, he could become invisible, but he hadn't considered one thing: every time he moved on that garden of roses, he trampled some of them. Therefore, the soldiers just had to follow the path of the trampled roses to reach and catch him and tear the magic belt off him. The poor king of dwarves had no option, but to surrender and give beautiful Similde back to her father. Before doing so though he put a terrible curse on the rose garden that had betrayed him. He said, "No human eye will be able to admire you, neither during the day nor at night." Therefore, where there were once beautiful roses, only bare rocks remained. King Laurin though had not considered sunset, which was neither day nor night. That is why, still today, when the sun sinks behind the mountains, we can still admire the garden of red roses that tinges the Dolomite peaks. > read hike Hike of the day Around the Three Peaks of Lavaredo The Three Peaks of Lavaredo, the symbol of the Dolomites, have always exerted a certain fascination, attracting climbers and hikers from all over the world. This is a true paradise for those who love hiking, mountaineering and vie ferrate. But that's not all... there are also some easy but breathtaking hikes, such as the tour around the Three Peaks of Lavaredo. The starting point for our walk is the Auronzo Hut (2,320 m). Crossing the Landro Valley we reach Lake Misurina, where we park our car. From here you can take the shuttle bus to the Auronzo Hut. Then we start our walk on the 101 path, which goes along the south side of the Three Peaks of Lavaredo to the Lavaredo Hut (2,344 m). From here take a small path to the left which leads to the Forcella di Lavaredo (2,454 m). There is a wonderful panoramic view, not only of the surrounding valleys, but also of the northern side of the Three Peaks of Lavaredo. Continue slightly downhill at the foot of Mount Paterno until you come to a fork, where you take the road that leads to the A. Locatelli Hut (2,405 m). Arriving at the refuge, after a walk of about 1.5 hours, we take a break and sit down on the grass to eat a typical snack of speck, salami and tomatoes. Then we start our way back, first to the Malga Lange (2,232 m, n. 105) and then, at the foot of the western face of the Three Peaks of Lavaredo, to the Auronzo Hut, from where we return to the car. "Sounds like a nice hike." ? Monica comments ? "From Misurina to Cortina is not a long way: on the way back we could stop." >take paper Taken. It's been a while since you've gone downstairs for breakfast, and now you feel the urge to go to the bathroom. You move a bit nervously, and Monica notices your discomfort. ?
