A thirties magnet in the Dolomites – Diepresse.com
The three battlements are an incomparable attraction for mountain fans from all over the world. The fascination goes deep into the alpine history – and offers challenges. But South Tyrol’s Dolomites keep much more ready.
Is that you? Is that one of your striking, pointed peak? Anyone who makes a circular hike on the way to the three battlements and starts from the Fischleintal needs some perseverance and perseverance. Because the complete, the unmistakable silhouette is actually only shown at individual precious, high -lying points. But there is no way too far to cross the spectacular rock sea that makes the climb itself an experience.
The three battlements, Italian Tre Cime di Lavaredo, are no longer an insider tip, but one of the highlights of every stay in the Dolomites. Embedded in the nature park of the same name between Pustertal in the north, Sextental in the East and Höhlensteintal in the west, they have been part of the UNESCO-World Heritage.

The three peaks themselves, consisting of the small tin (Cima Piccola with 2857 m), the large tin in the middle (Cima Grande with 2999 m) and the western tin (Cima Ovest with 2973 m), can only be climbed by experienced climbers. However, over different routes with different lengths and levels of difficulty you can at least approach them and catch a glorious look at them. The popular circular or hut hike fills out a day. It first leads through the Bachern Valley. It continues via tight serpentines, along an imposing rock face. You come past sympathetic huts, marveled at massive rock formations, venture over dramatically sloping rock walls, sees picturesque mountain lakes and flowering flower meadows. Again and again new, overwhelming mountain panoramas open up, which suddenly make one appear very small in the middle of the mighty dolomite summit.
Three powerful guards
And then you stand in front of what you know from stamps and postcards: the three mighty rocks protrude into the sky and throne like guards over the Dolomites. Your striking silhouette is world famous. Anyone who has stood in front of them does not want to do without this sight throughout their life.
There have to be good reasons why locals tell of Asian women with high heels and trolleys. The mountain range has made a name for itself worldwide, and especially the abbreviated circular route, which leads across Mautstrasse and starts in the parking lot at the Auronzohütte, has the potential to attract large crowds.

Of course, you should be aware of this if you come here in the high season or in the middle of the day. An online reservation system could go into operation from 2026. It should control access and make it more sustainable – and protect the highly sensitive nature refuge of the three battlements.
In nature at home
« Especially for hikers – if you don’t necessarily choose the area where you look directly at the three battlements – there are many lonely ways here in the Nature Park Sextner Dolomites. They are worth exploring to be explored, » says Steffie Rogger from the Büllelejochhütte and tells of the little bit of the little bit in the Nature Park in the Nature Park.
No wonder it tennis star Jannik Sinner Again and again when he is on home in sex: the hut literally nestles to the surrounding peaks, well hidden it lies at the foot of the twelve kofel, which is over 3000 meters high. « It is like being one with nature, » says Steffie, whose parents have been on the hut since 1979. They live here for around four months a year, « and if I had to title my home, it would be up here ».
When the weather is nice, « then you have the feeling that everything that is in front of you belongs to the hut, your living room and your home is. This feeling is at most to the garden fence below. »
Local category of bloody battles
Erwin Steiner by Globo Alpin, mountain guide and training manager of the South Tyrolean mountain and ski leader training, is also preferred to travel away from the tourist path. He knows the area like no other and knows where it is still untouched in the Dolomites. And yet it is an experience to go on the three battlements with him over the very frequented via ferrata.
