Vor gut 150 Jahren bereisten zwei englische Gentlemen und ihre Ladys eine lockende Terra incognita: die Dolomiten. Staunend. Begeistert. Immer wieder. In der Kutsche, mit Packtieren, auf weiten Strecken zu Fuß. Die ersten Touristen! Ihr Reisebericht „The Dolomite Mountains“ erschien 1864 in London und rückte die zuvor nur Einheimischen bekannten „Bleichen Berge“ erstmals eindrucksvoll in den Blick der Welt. Seither sind die Dolomiten ein Sehnsuchtsziel im Herzen der Alpen. Und seit zehn Jahren Unesco-Weltnaturerbe. Dessen „einzigartige monumentale Schönheit“ wurde durch dieses Buch entdeckt, erkundet und gefeiert.
