DOBBIACO TOBLACH |
| In the eastern part of the Val Pusteria, civilization and streams of car-borne German tourists resume at DOBBIACO , a stultifying resort and spa town where Gustav Mahler spent his summers between 1908 and 1910, at the junction of roads into the Val di Sesto (Sextental) and the Val di Landro (Höhlenstein Tal). The latter takes you south past Lago di Dobbiaco onto the Alemagna, the pilgrims' route from Germany to Rome. From the lake there's a superb view of the intimidating peaks of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, rising to 2999m. The Val di Landro bus rounds the outer peaks of the Cristallo mountain group, where the road is flanked by forest on either side, before emerging at Cortina d'Ampezzo. |
