Having picked up the audio recording equipment the day prior in London, I met Amna in Oxford for coffee the morning of the interview. We sat in a cosy cafe to test all the equipment, camera, mic, tripod etc. and go over our plan for the interview one last time. A frosty and misty November morning, we wanted to leave plenty of time to drive to Dr. Nicholas Flemming’s home!

Huts are a significant factor in tourism, benefiting both guests and locals. They serve as crucial touchpoints in alpine tourism. The expert dialogue in April provided an excellent opportunity to explore ecological and construction innovations, cross-border traditions, and sustainable tourism practices…

From October 19 to 22, 2023, we undertook a delegation trip to Carinthia and Slovenia. With Cheryl, Zalmay (from the USA) and Sophia (from Germany) from ARCH International, as well as Marietta, Andrea (from Lower Austria and Carinthia) and Veronica (from Italy) from ARCH Europe, we were truly culturally diverse.

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?
