Schlern
The Schlern is a 2,563m high mountain of the Dolomites in South Tyrol, Italy. The Dolomites are a section of the Alps in northern Italy. The name Dolomites is derived from the French mineralogist Deodat de Dolomieu who was the first to describe the mineral Dolomite which is responsible for the characteristic shapes of these great limestone mountains.Photo credit: Fantasy
