THE DOLOMITES AND THEIR LEGENDS - KARL FELIX WO...

The Dolomites  a range of mountains in the Southern Alps  are widely celebrated for their
bizarre rock formations  light colour hues  and pristine nature. It is no coincidence that
UNESCO declared the Pale Mountains a World Heritage Site and that  every single year  they
attract tourists and nature enthusiasts from all around the globe. This enchanting mountain
landscape  which is oftentimes cool and forbidding  has left an indelible mark on its
inhabitants. Their veritable treasure trove of myths  legends and mystery stories is an
integral part of the rich cultural heritage of the Dolomites: the older generation has always
passed down this heritage to a wide-eyed audience comprised of both the young and the
young-at-heart. This compilation by Karl Felix Wolff (1879-1966)  probably the most prominent
regional writer-explorer of legends  contains well-known tales like King Laurin and the
Alp-Glow and The Kingdom of the Fanes in addition to lesser known stories such as The
Nightingale of the Sasslong  Iron Hand and Merisana's Wedding. This book is a unique collection
of legends that will shed a new and mystic light on your perspective of the Dolomites.
