The image is of a group of climbers ascending the Via Ferrata protected climbing path on the Paternkofel [Monte Paterno] near the famous Three Towers, known in German as Drei Zinnen but more poetically named in Italian as the Tre Cime di Laverado located in the Sexten-Sesto eastern region of the Italian Dolomites. During the First World War, the Austrian Army had a barracks hereabouts. The climbers are actually on the Austrian Front Line
