Dolomites - UNESCO World Heritage
The Dolomites - Recreation, relaxation and nature
Alta Badia, in the heart of the Dolomites, is home of two UNESCO sanctuaries:
the Puez-Geisler and the Fanes-Sennes-Prags
nature reserve.
- Puez Geisler nature reserve
This nature reserve offers unique insight into the history of its rock formations; Grödner sandstone, Bellerophonschichten, Werfener Schichten, shell limestone, Sarl Dolomite rock, Buchensteiner Schichten, Wengener- and Cassianer Schichten, Schlern Dolomite, Raibler Schichten, saddle stone Dolomite, Jurrasic and Cretaceous rock.
- Fanes Sennes Prags nature reserve
Visitors have the impression as if they stand in front of an almost insurmountable and difficult to access wall of steep peaks and rock faces. In reality, the nature reserve's summits are surrounded by an extended area of mountain pastures and high plateaus, morphologically and scenically quite diverse from each other.
