Like a stone wall, which God has rammed into the earth as a natural border between northern and southern Europe, the mountains behind Sexten tower into the sky. Here runs the border between Austria-Hungary and Italy in 1915. A front, which became the scene of a bitter war of positions in the First World War. Fighting on rocky outcrops, peaks, on skis, with engraving knives, carabiners and hand grenades. Man against man trying to secure small units the height. In all these skirmishes, a girl in the red wall is following her father, who has followed him into the mountain war. David Pfeifer tells her story and the history of the Dolomite War in an impressive novel. Use the app to immerse yourself in the storylines of the novel, explore the region and get a glimpse into people's lives during the Dolomite War.
