Forte Dosso delle Somme (Werk Sommo)
One of the most impressive Austro-Hungarian fortifications from WWI on the Alpe Cimbra plateau, Forte Dosso delle Somme offers a poignant journey into history. Located at an altitude of 1670m, it's a massive concrete and stone structure designed to defend against Italian forces. Visitors can explore its extensive tunnels, casemates, and observation posts, gaining a profound understanding of the brutal mountain warfare. Guided tours are often available during summer months (typically July-August, 10:00-17:00), providing detailed historical context. Access is usually free, though guided tours may have a small fee (e.g., €5-10). It's accessible via hiking trails or a short drive from Folgaria, followed by a walk.
