This unusual route near the Tre Cime di Lavaredo peaks enables you to see some of the trenches and forts built by the Italians during the First World War. It starts from Lake d’Antorno, from where you walk to the mountain hut Malga Rin Bianco. Here you start walking uphill, between Mount Baranci and some fine viewpoints looking over the Val Rienza valley. After reaching the peak, from the gully Forcella dell’Arghena there are splendid views of the north face of the Tre Cime (this is the only section in which you may meet some other hikers), and then you go back down along the valley named Valle dell’Acqua, returning to the starting point.
