Legends and traditions, fairy tales and stories of the Ladin and German inhabitants of the Dolomites.
It is thanks to the great researcher Karl Felix Wolff that the legends told by the people of the land of the pale mountains have been written down. He painstakingly collected the legends about a hundred years ago. The sagas explain why the Dolomites are pale, they tell the tale of the rise and fall of the Fanes Empire, of Moltina and Dolasilla, of Spina de Mul and Ey de Net. They tell of the children of the sun, of Soreghina and., of the nightingale on the Sassolungo and of the publican in Karneid. The Dolomite legends of Karl Felix Wollf are flowers and blossoms of silence, of the past, picked in the solitude of pale rocks and alpine pastures covered with flowers. And even if the Dolomite legends are prose in form, they are nevertheless interwoven with a poetic magic that lies not only in them, but also in the landscape that is their home. The connoisseur of the Dolomites will find almost all the views and natural atmospheres familiar to him interwoven in the sagas.
