The beautiful landscapes of the Dolomite Alps seen from a bird's eye view in three minutes

Italy is a country with great architectural wealth, largely inherited from ancient Rome, but its natural beauty is even greater.

The surprising Capanna Regina Margherita, the highest mountain refuge in Europe
The spectacular Breitachklamm, the deepest rock gorge in Central Europe

A notable part of this natural beauty can be observed in the north-east of the country, in the mountain range of the Dolomite Alps, located in the Italian regions of Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. This mountainous area covers an area of ​​almost 16,000 square kilometres and its highest peak is the Marmolada, which reaches 3,343 metres above sea level.

As a curiosity, the name of this mountain range was first used in 1837 and is due to dolomite, a limestone sedimentary rock that is predominant in this area. The paradox is that the name Dolomites was not used for the first time in Italy, but in Great Britain, specifically in a guide published in London. The beauty of this area is so exuberant that in 2009 UNESCO classified part of this mountain range as a World Heritage Site.

This Monday, German filmmaker Dennis Schmelz, who has some excellent content on his YouTube channel, published a magnificent video showing bird's-eye views of the Dolomites. The video lasts three minutes and is a feast for the eyes:

You can see here four screenshots from this wonderful video as a preview. Looking at these images, I can only add that God is a great painter and sculptor of landscapes.
