On the Carnic High Trail, history comes alive. An impressive place is the small Kriegerfriedhof on the Hochgräntensee, which was built in a fiercely contested section of the former fronts.

Hiking

The Hochgräntensee is located directly on the course of the Karnische ridge. A small cemetery next to the mountain lake commemorates the men who had to give up their lives here in the First World War for the nationalist goals of Italy and Austria - luckily, these days are long gone.
