The Julius Kugy Memorial
In his books, he sang of the beauty of the mountain world and expressed in an artistic way his affection for the people who live in the mountains and his love for the small and hidden values, thus creating a lasting monument to the Julian Alps and the Trentar Alps.
Dr Julius Kugy (1858-1944) was one of the greatest admirers of the Julian Alps and the Trenta Valley. With the help of local mountain guides, he was the first to climb many mountain peaks in the Julian Alps, and many of them were ascended by new routes.
