    Mountaineering

    The Helm (Italian: Monte Elmo) is located near Vierschach in South Tyrol, on the border with East Tyrol. The mountain marks the western end of the main Carnic ridge.
    On the 2,433 m high summit there are still the remains of the Helmhütte, which marks the end and beginning of the Carnic High Trail. It stretches 155 km long (9 refuges) through the main Carnic ridge. Remains of numerous military buildings from the 1915-1918 mountain war between Austrian and Italian troops can still be seen.

    Actually the perfect place for a cabin. The planned project seems to have been abandoned.
