Dolomiti 1998 - 2007

 

The Dolomites (Italian: Dolomiti) are a section of the Alps. They are located in north-eastern Italy. The name "Dolomites" is derived from the famous French mineralogist Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu who was the first to describe the rock, dolomite, a type of carbonate rock which is responsible for the characteristic shapes and color of these mountains. Via ferratas are very popular there. A via ferrata is a mountain route which is equipped with fixed cables, staples, ladders and bridges. I like Dolomiti very much, my relation to them is very strong. Please look at some photos (a lot of them were taken with an analogue camera) from our trips.
