can be found in the hiking guide \u2018The Stelvio-Umbrail military-historical hiking trail\u2019 from page 72. The following explanations highlight places along the route and explain their historical significance.\n<h4>Stelvio Pass \u2013 Passo delle Plattigiole<\/h4>\n<p>You leave the Stelvio Pass (at the valley station of the cable car) in a southerly direction on the steeply ascending road. After the second hairpin bend, you will come across the remains of the Austrian artillery position. Three cavernous guns formed the so-called \u2018Ferdinand position\u2019. The three gun chambers embedded in the (crumbling) rock lay exactly on the border between the two warring nations at the time. Standing on the road, you are on Italian territory; if you climb the rocks on the left, you are in what was then Austria. Access to the unconnected caverns was from the rear of the rocky ridge.<\/p>\n<p>The firing direction of the guns can be traced due to the lateral boundaries of the rock openings, which are still recognisable today. The target area included the Italian-Swiss border crossing on the Umbrail Pass with the Italian base there, as well as the entire intermediate area along the pass road and the Italian artillery position at Laghetto alto, which had been cavernised.<\/p>\n<p>The gun emplacements of the \u2018Ferdinand position\u2019 are still accessible, but there is a risk of collapse.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201c1\/2\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201c2882\u2033 img_size=\u201c800\u00d7600\u2033 onclick=\u201clink_image\u201c][vc_column_text css=\u201c.vc_custom_1747565454753{padding-top: 5px !important;}\u201c]\n<h6>The wooden-clad muzzle of the centre gun cavern of the Ferdinand position in 2007.

The infantry obstacle to protect the position, the course of which is still clearly recognisable today, can be seen in the picture on the right. On the horizon to the right, the summit of the \u2018Kleiner Scorluzzo\u2019 with the Austrian pre-summit base. The crossing below the summit (left) is the Passo delle Plattigiole. Today\u2019s road to Monte Livrio did not yet exist, of course.<\/h6>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=\u201c\u201c]Only when we reach the Passo delle Plattigiole does the real significance of Monte Scorluzzo \u2018reveal\u2019 itself for the tactically relevant considerations of the time. The rugged Valle dei Vitelli (calf valley) stretches out in front of us, which initially descends gently but then steeply at the height of the second Cantoniera in Valle Braulio to reach today\u2019s Stilserjoch road.<br>\nSo anyone wanting to reach the Stelvio Pass from the Valtellina side had two options: the efficient road through the Valle Braulio (today\u2019s carriage road) or the bypass through the Valle dei Vitelli.<br>\nAccordingly, this crossing was fortified by a system of defences to intercept any advance. This system ran from the foot of the Naglerspitze, which is on our left on the Passo delle Plattigiole, to the upswing to the \u2018Kleine Scorluzzo\u2019 at the foot of which we find ourselves at the lowest point of the crossing.\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201c1\/2\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201c3931\u2033 img_size=\u201c800\u00d7600\u2033 onclick=\u201clink_image\u201c][vc_column_text css=\u201c.vc_custom_1747565698475{padding-top: 5px !important;}\u201c]\n<h6>The Passo delle Plattigiole, seen from the ascent to the \u2018Little Scorluzzo\u2019.

This is the first time we cross a trench system that runs at right angles to the defensive position on the Passo delle Plattigiole and come across impact craters that bear witness to Italian artillery fire.<\/p>\n<p>The trench system is part of the flank position of the pass and it requires no imagination to interpret its course in the context of tactical thinking if you realise the following principle.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine a horseshoe or a horizontal \u2018U\u2019. Its base (i.e. the bow) is in the catching position \u2013 the two sides are laid out in the direction of the opponent. Whoever was able to occupy this \u2018horseshoe\u2019 was able to attack the enemy from three directions at the same time. With this image in the background, you will be able to understand the course of any positional system. Good to know: such \u2018horseshoes\u2019 came in a wide variety of sizes. So very small, narrow and also very large, wide \u2018U \u2019s. But the principle was always the same. And even more important to know: the Italians also used this tactic of position selection.<\/p>\n<p>The artillery traces, in turn, show an attacker\u2019s endeavour to hold down these positions so that an attack without direct fire from the enemy was possible at all.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201c1\/2\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201c3935\u2033 img_size=\u201c800\u00d7600\u2033 onclick=\u201clink_image\u201c][vc_column_text css=\u201c.vc_custom_1747565869511{padding-top: 5px !important;}\u201c]\n<h6>The field guard line carved into the rock on the edge of the \u2018Kleine Scorluzzo\u2019 plateau.

The peak was already on Italian territory at the time and provided a view across the now embattled border into the Trafoi Valley. Provided the weather was good, Austrian movements could be recognised at an early stage.<\/p>\n<h5>National defence from a Viennese perspective<\/h5>\n<p>Until the outbreak of war, the defence strategy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was based on countering an Italian advance only in the lowlands of the valley, but never on the ridges of the actual national border. The \u2018Gomagoi roadblock\u2019 built between 1860 and 1862 (at the confluence of the Sulden Valley and the Trafoi Valley) seemed to the Austrian general staff to be the obvious choice, and appropriately prepared lines of defence were based on this barrier. However, this was \u2018pre-war thinking\u2019 and was overtaken by the new situation.<\/p>\n<p>For more detailed information on Austria\u2019s defence system, please refer to the corresponding article on the \u201eKleinboden \u2019 page.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=\u201c10\u2033][vc_column_text css=\u201c\u201c]\n<h5>National defence from a Tyrolean perspective<\/h5>\n<p>The Standsch\u00fctzen called up for national defence considered this to be a gross mistake on Vienna\u2019s part, as they came from the region directly affected by the outbreak of war. They ran farms and alpine pastures near the border, which \u2013 in line with Vienna\u2019s intention \u2013 were now to be ceded without a fight. This contradicted their idea of national defence in the grossest way. \u2018Our land begins at the border \u2013 not where the Viennese would like it to be\u2019 \u2013 was the widespread opinion of the local population \u2013 and this was to have consequences.<\/p>\n<h5>Andreas Steiner\u2019s push party company<\/h5>\n<p>On 4 June 1915, gendarmerie cavalry captain Andreas Steiner decided to undertake an operation that would have a significant impact on the course of the war on the Ortler front. With around 40 men, divided into three groups, he pushed the Italians off the summit of Monte Scorluzzo. This attack took place in poor visibility and was initiated by artillery fire from the Goldsee position. As a result, Mount Scorluzzo was permanently occupied and remained in Austrian hands until the end of the war. What was described in later reports as a heroic act, however, received little attention during the first days of the war.<\/p>\n<p>The diary of the command responsible for the defence of the Ortler section records the following on 4 June 1915:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201eThe accommodation hut built by the Italians on the Scorluzzo was shot up by our own artillery.<\/em> <em>After the Italians retreated, our patrol found sleeping bags, coats, cooking utensils, etc.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The detachment reported to the III Cantoniera withdrew further towards Bormio.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>At Bochetta di Forcola work is being done to prepare the position.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Otherwise unchanged.\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The entry in the diary suggests that the occupation of the Scorluzzo cannot have been an infantry attack in the classic sense.

Accordingly, there are no remains of fortifications here. Only a few wooden beams and remnants of wire mesh can be found along the trail. These were probably carried to their current locations over the years by avalanches from the Filone. However, these are not historically relevant.<\/p>\n<p>Upon reaching the green plateau at the foot of Monte Scorluzzo \u2013 marked on maps as \u2018Piano di Scorluzzo\u2019 \u2013 we come across Italian defensive positions again. The course of the defensive line, which runs straight along the ridge, is clearly visible despite the vegetation that has now returned. It can be assumed that the line was never reinforced by a system of trenches, although the ground conditions would have made this possible again here. However, this is understandable given the potential Austrian attack area. A corresponding attack would have had to descend from the summit of Monte Scorluzzo via its steep north-western flank, which was exposed to almost all Italian guns. An extremely risky undertaking, therefore.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018horseshoe principle\u2019 explained at the Passo delle Plattigiole can also be found on the Piano del Scorluzzo, here in a very extensive form. The right flank was provided by the Filone del Mot and the left by the Rese di Scorluzzo, the striking north-western ridge of the eponymous peak.<\/p>\n<p>For a short distance, we follow the clear mountain stream, lined with lovely cotton grass, then turn slightly to the right, ascending briefly to reach Lago del Scorluzzo. The water level of the almost circular mountain lake depends on meltwater. It has no above-ground inflow or outflow. Accordingly, it is not surprising that this lake, which is full to the brim in early summer, is reduced to a puddle at most in late summer, especially after summer months with little rain.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=\u201cvc_default\u201c css=\u201c.vc_custom_1572190198712{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}\u201c][vc_column css=\u201c.vc_custom_1572254061418{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}\u201c][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201c1\/2\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201c4176\u2033 img_size=\u201c800\u00d7600\u2033 onclick=\u201clink_image\u201c][vc_column_text css=\u201c.vc_custom_1747567768947{padding-top: 5px !important;}\u201c]\n<h6>Visible on the left of the image: the course of the Italian defence line on the Piano di Scorluzzo, with the watercourse leading away on the right.<\/h6>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201c1\/2\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201c4179\u2033 img_size=\u201c800\u00d7600\u2033 onclick=\u201clink_image\u201c][vc_column_text css=\u201c.vc_custom_1747567787606{padding-top: 5px !important;}\u201c]\n<h6>View from the northern peak of the defensive line towards Lago di Scorluzzo.

However, a visit is still worthwhile for die-hard military historians. However, it should be noted that the Rese, at 2,887 metres above sea level, turns out to be a dead end. The ascent to the main summit of the Scorluzzo \u2013 through the \u2018no man\u2019s land\u2019 there \u2013 is really only suitable for visitors who are experienced climbers. The rock is very brittle and climbing without a rope is strongly discouraged.<\/p>\n<p>On the \u2018accessible\u2019 part of the Rese, we come across impressive and astonishingly well-preserved positions from which flanking fire support was possible both in the direction of Piano di Scorluzzo and in the direction of \u2018Lago alto\u2019, the Italian artillery base which we will encounter later on. The Rese was manned by a platoon of about 30 men, who found accommodation here in very simple shelters.

The road leads us directly to the underground gun chambers, which were renovated in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>The cannons there were both offensive and defensive in nature. The northern caverns were aligned to cover the Stilfserjoch pass and the border with Switzerland. From the southern caverns, it was possible to fire on the Austrian positions on the pass and as far as Trafoi, given the range. However, the latter option would have violated Switzerland\u2019s neutrality and was only used in very rare cases after objections were raised.
