During my last visit to Vienna in late autumn, I marvelled at the expanded range of Christmas calendars in shops and supermarkets. In my childhood these had just been flat pieces of cardboard with a picture of St. Nicholas, or Christmas angels, or a magnificently decorated tree, and some gold and glitter sprinkled on them to make them special.
Wish us luck! The ARCH-Europe Team submitted an abstract for a panel we propose to co-host, together with the Kanaltaler Kulturverein: “From combat to friendship around a historic Alpine Lodge. Heritage and peace-building on the border of Italy, Slovenia and Austria.”
In September 2022, we successfully nominated the historic mountain hut Annahütte to the 7 Most Endangered Heritage Sites in Europe List.
When wars break out, when the destruction begins, when humanity is shattered, heroes emerge, sometimes literally from the ashes, carrying injured people to safety or defending their neighborhoods from invaders.
The excitement grows as the three of us climb over the hard frozen snow to the Annahütte site at the Jepca saddle. 800 meters of altitude have to be conquered. Will the sun be waiting for us to take beautiful photos?
