A House Built 9,000 ft Above the Ground Leaves Authorities With Many Questions and Concerns
If you find yourself in the Dolomites region in Italy, we suggest you look up–way up. Of course, it’s impossible to see from the ground, but if you could see 9,000 feet up, you might spot a peculiar little hut on the side of a mountain. And you might wonder to yourself, how did it get there?
The effort required to reach this isolated home is great, but the reward of picturesque solitude is even greater.
The architecture is believed to have been created by savvy Italian soldiers during WWI.

Explorers have warned that the path, part of the Via Ferrata Ivano Dibona, requires a “high level of fitness” to climb.
The Via Ferrata — Italian for “iron path” — is fitted with steel ladders, rungs and cables built into the mountain for ramblers to use to navigate difficult sections. ..

Savvy Italian soldiers are said to have built the shelter as a place to rest while battling the Austro-Hungarians across the rugged terrain.
