Dolomites (Dolomiti) North Italy

Dolomiti, North Italy -

This is one of my favourite place I ever like to visit again. It took about 1.30 hour driving distance from Venice but it took circa 1700km driving distance from my house, Nottinghamshire, UK.

The photos below were taken from Passo Falzareg, Lagazuoi, 5 Torri & Giau

Passo Falzareg

The Falzarego Pass is a high mountain pass in the province of Belluno in Italy.

The name Falza Rego means false king in ladin and refers to a king of the Fanes, who was supposedly turned to stone for betraying his people.

A gondola rises to the Lagazuoi (2762 m.), which was the object of heavy combat in World War I. The tunnel that the Italians built under the Austrian lines is open to the public.
