“We learn from history that we do not learn from history.”
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The essential difference between a historical re-enactment and a scenic use of uniforms and war equipment is knowledge: a historical re-enactor does more than merely wear an antique uniform. He recreates the environment and the atmosphere associated with that particular historical period.
The re-enactors are people who have spent many years studying history, aspects of military and civil life of the time.
People who wear a uniform to commemorate all those made a lasting contribution to peace, who are against the war, who believe that we have responsibilities in the present because of our recent past.
The Lagazuoi Open-Air Museum of the Great War offers a unique journey through history. Visitors can explore iconic locations such as the Lagazuoi ridge, the FW4 post, and the sniper's post. The meeting point to start the tour is located above the Lagazuoi cable car.
To fully enjoy your high-mountain experience, we recommend wearing suitable clothing and hiking boots. In the event of bad weather, you should check directly with the guide to confirm whether the tour will go ahead.
