Trenches along the path that leads to Cima Caldiera. They are part of the Eco Museum of the Great War. The trenches and the excavated cavities served as warehouses for supplies for the troops of Ortigara.

During the First World War, in view of the Battle of Ortigara in 1917, the area on the eastern slopes of Cima Caldiera was transformed into an Italian logistics base of enormous tactical importance: one of the main storage centers for food, ammunition, tools and materials needed for combat and the sustenance of the troops.

It was located on the slope sheltered from enemy fire, but close to the front line, to which it was connected by a web of walkways; it was accessible via a wide and comfortable road from Piazzale Lozze, which is now used as a path; the six tunnels dug one after the other, connected internally by a single corridor, served as warehouses and were hidden from view by external wooden barracks that, leaning against the rock, covered the entrances.

Two interesting tables show the inventory of the goods stored: food for the soldiers, daily rations and materials for the Engineers.
