Once upon a time, an age-old enchantment
Myths and legends of the Dolomites
Step into the world of Ladin myths and legends, where King Laurin resides in his pale mountains which shimmer in purple at dusk, “Enrosadira”, dawn, where marmots reign and where the graceful beauty of the princesses Dolasilla and Moltina glistens in the valleys. And then, there is the evil sorcerer Spina de Mul but also the hero Ey de Net who leads the story to a happy ending. Age-old tales, which date back thousands of years. Karl Felix Wolff collected these Ladin legends at the beginning of the past century and published them in 1905. A masterpiece which lives on to this day.
