Once upon a time the Alps were twice as high as today. Mountains were rising 6.000 meters upon the wild landscape. But what has happened that the entire mountain range then lost almost half of its height? And where the hell has all that material disappeared? Limestone is a fragile material. To be honest, fish bones and shrimp carapaces are not exactly some solid volcanic rock.

Fortress Kluže had a role of protecting an important road between Cividale del Friuli in Italy and Austria all through its long history. The fortress is strategically secured by the slopes of Mt...
