Edelweiss Line
Between the Castello and the Hexenstein/Sasso di Stria is the Edelweiss line. It is 100 metres from the fort Tre Sassi and it was intended to prevent the Italians to break through from this side into the Valparola pass.
In 2003 there started to reconstruct this trenches and this open air museum was opened in 2005.
