Nei boschi del Monte Nevoso

Mons Albius, Krainer Schneeberg, Veliki SneZnik, Monte Nevoso four names, in four different languages, with the same meaning, this and the snow mountain. The entire massif of the mountain, together with the bordering areas, is an enormous natural factory of wood and oxygen, a privileged, protected and certified area for large predators such as the bear, the wolf, the lynx, the Ural owl and for an endless series of other faunal and botanical species. The illustrated itineraries largely retrace the paths of the first Central European hikers and botanists of the early 19th century. From all sides of the mountain the trail signs lead up to its summit, paths full of stories, such as those of the woodcutters and gamekeepers of the ancient forest estate of Schneeberg or those of the fortified border which in the midst of these woods divided the Kingdoms of Italy and Yugoslavia for twenty years.
