An Austro-Hungarian stronghold during the Great War, located on the rocky hillside before the promontory of Monte Cimone, fortified and able to withstand attacks from all sides: a labyrinth of trenches, shelters, machine gun emplacements, and flamethrowers. The soldiers called this position "Hexenkessel" (translated as "witches' basin" or "witches' cauldron") to emphasize the danger of this defensive line, completely exposed to fire from Italian batteries positioned on the surrounding mountains. It was from here that excavation work began to place the large mine beneath the Italian-occupied Monte Cimone, as well as the attack three minutes after its detonation.
An accurate historical reconstruction reproduces a section of a trench, with wooden slits and concrete bags simulating the original sandbags; even the intertwining of branches is a reproduction of how the soldiers used the elements available in nature to protect the trenches from landslides.
