DOLOMITES Soothing Music Along With Beautiful Nature For Reading Book

Two hundred sixty million years ago, the earth’s surface formed a single supercontinent called Pangea that was surrounded by an ocean known as Paleo-Tethys. During this geological period, the area that later became the Dolomites was covered by an arid desert and was roughly at the level of the equator. Then, the ground in this geographical area slowly dropped and a shallow tropical sea full of life, little by little, submerged the entire region.About 252 million years ago, at the end of the Permian period, a series of huge volcanic eruptions caused a devastating mass extinction that almost terminated all life on earth. Life in the seas resumed very slowly.The Three Peaks Nature Park, established in 1981, covers 11,891 hectares and extends all the way to the border of the neighbouring Belluno region in the municipalities of Sesto, San Candido and Dobbiaco. It is worth seeing for several reasons: firstly because of its immense wealth in fauna and flora and secondly because of the still visible silent witnesses from the First World War.This is one of the most beautiful nature parks in the Dolomites.The Fanes-Sennes-Prags Nature Park can be described as simply divine. Here, in the heart of the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Dolomites, you can relax in an area of more than 25.000 hectares of unspoilt countryside and experience pure nature. Visitors will be impressed by the landscape. Numerous mountain peaks, pastures and crystal-clear lakes attract countless hikers to this area year after year.
