Shadows of stone

SHADOWS OF STONE

Forte Belvedere Gschwent – Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 July 2026

In the heart of the Alpe Cimbra, where history has left a deep mark on the mountains, an event is taking place that will transport you back in time.

Shadows of Stone is much more than a simple exhibition: it is an immersive journey into the memory of the Great War, featuring authentic artefacts, stories and testimonies that have spanned over a century.

Private collectors, enthusiasts and local organisations come together to share unique finds, original memorabilia and rare items that recount one of the most significant events in the history of these mountains.


WHY ATTEND

To enjoy an authentic experience in an original Austro-Hungarian fortress
To discover unique historical objects, often not on public display
To immerse yourself in an evocative atmosphere blending history, culture and landscape
To connect with collectors, museums and enthusiasts in the field

WHO IS IT FOR

For history lovers.
For collectors.
For those who want to truly understand what happened in these mountains.

But also for those seeking a different, intense experience that leaves a lasting impression.
