The conquest of the mountains 1870-1890

Alpine Refuges

It is noticeable how many alpine huts in Tyrol are built by those sections of the Societies which are furthest away. The section of eastgerman town Halle an der Saale builds its Alpine home at 3175 meters in the Ortler range. Towards the end of the First World War the hut is destroyed in the battles on the Ortler Front.
