DEEP WITHIN THE DOLOMITES

摘要

A few nights later, the farmer drank too much at a local tavern and revealed the location of the mysterious cellar. His drinking companions went to the spot, and as they approached, the castle dissolved into thin air. The legend persists to this day;ask about the castle and you'll be told that it still exists somewhere in these mountains, but you will never find anyone willing to reveal its secret location. Mountains do indeed keep secrets; the imposing wall of snowcapped Dolomites, which acts as ametaphorical bookcnd, terminating the Italian and Mediterranean experience at its northern extremity, is filled with them. Isolation and geographic extremism have shaped one of Italy's most rewarding and authentic destinations.
