“Death is not the end, but only a very specific end: namely, the end of a first, provisional period of life and the beginning of a new, unending epoch. Jesus said, ‘My kingdom is not of this world.’ So there is another world. Not only his disciples believed in this other world, but also his opponents. The lawyer, for example, asked him what he must do ‘to inherit eternal life.’ (…) Precisely because it lasts forever, this life is so precious that everything else in the present world pales in comparison.” (Text by Albino Luciani / Pope John Paul I)

In the locality of Barenthal there is a British cemetery (there are 5 in the whole Plateau) which contains 126 fallen soldiers identified by the Commonwealth belonging to the troops of the XIV Corps of the British Expeditionary Force.

One of the four English cemeteries of the Great War

The new Dragon was made with the burnt wood left over from the fire of Martalar's previous works. Located in a panoramic position, it is certainly worth a visit.

Werk Verle | Forte Busa Verle is an Austro-Hungarian fort located at an altitude of 1506 meters in the Passo Vezzena – Malga Verle area. A bomb-proof fortified structure, it served to prevent a possible Italian advance from the Val d'Assa on the Vezzena, Cima le Mandrielle, Monte Erio. As a fort, Campo Luserna was subjected to heavy shelling by Italian artillery, but was never conquered.

The new Vaia Dragon (officially 'Drago Vaia Regeneration') is spectacular, imposing, and completely different from its predecessor: larger, more menacing, and above all more enraged by the human stupidity that destroys nature and art, a fact exemplified by the anonymous arson attack on the previous work. It has literally been reborn from the work that burned on the night of August 23, 2023: in addition to sharing the same position, 10-15% of the wood was recovered from the previous dragon. A symbol of rebirth and resilience. It has returned after less than a year as the largest wooden dragon in the world: 16 meters long x 7 meters high (double the size of the first), 6 tons of wood, more than 3,000 pieces on a steel frame. Unlike its predecessor, the dragon was not created on site, but inside a warehouse in Pedescala, then transported here in two enormous pieces and assembled. I quote the artist, Marco Martalar: "It took ten months of work to create, and the work carries with it the memory of what happened to its predecessor. Inside it are not only the roots of Storm Vaia, but also a part of the old dragon that was destroyed, while the other parts were deliberately charred and then reassembled with the rest of the wood." https://www.lavaronegreenland.it/drago-vaia/ https://www.martalar.it

Splendid cycle path in a fir forest. Too bad it's not possible to travel the entire route of the old one up to Cogollo del Cengio

Unfortunately, this highlight burned down in August 2023. It's a real shame. The Dragon Trail there is still a worthwhile little walk, though. Edit: A new dragon has since been built.
