Hello to all!
Here we are on Apuane Alps, a mountain range in Tuscany (Italy).
This range has high mountains (above 2000 meters) in front of the sea, and they are famous for climbing and landscapes...
... and also for marble extraction. You can see here a steep road towards some cavea, where marble has been extracted from roman age till nowadays.
Many summits are missing here, so there are place destroyed by human activities, and other summits preserved and kept intact.
Great Italian sculture and masterpiece has been made with these rocks!
Here an abandoned bivac:
And here 'Pania della Croce' from Corchia mount summit.
