We've visited the Dolomites several times now and the WWI history of the region is very interesting. There are artifacts in museums, but you also come across old tunnels, via ferrate routes, barbed wire, and forts while hiking. I can't even imagine fighting a war in these areas. Last year we also visited the museum at Marmolada (the largest mountain in Italy), the site of a "glacier city" and they mentioned they are still recovering artifacts.

Enjoyed the article and pictures. Thanks for posting!
