But it were better to start earlier and to get further, and, leaving the rail at Toblach, to post on through a romantic valley past the Dürren See to Cortina. Cortina, long known as a mountaineering centre, was to be my starting-point. It is set just where a fertile valley widens out into an amphitheatre some five miles across, which in turn is surrounded by a circle

CHAPTER XIV SCHLUDERBACH TO TOBLACH Lake of Dürren—Landro—Lake of Toblach (Distance to Toblach railway station 8£ miles ; descent of road 750 feet. Postal Diligence to Toblach 9.5 a.m. and 5 p.m., fare 1 florin. Service of private carriages. Hotel close to Toblach railway station. Grand Hotel Toblach, and more modest ones Ampezzo and Plöner. Village of Toblach is about a mile beyond the station. ) The last stage of our journey was a short one. A run of little more than eight miles and a descent

of seven hundred and fifty feet carried us from lonely Schluderbach to the busy railway station of Toblach. But these eight miles of road were worthy of the country we were leaving. Great mountains towered above us, whose precipitous cliffs formed perpendicular walls on our right hand and on our left. We seemed to be passing all the way through a gigantic natural portal, worthy of the charmed region of the glorious Dolomites. On leaving Schluderbach we had the great precipices of Strudelköpfe, fringed

SCHLUDERBACH TO TOBLACH 211 rock, through the face of which water was everywhere oozing. It was well named the Croda del Acqua (the Water Rock). Its summit projected like a great capital. This croda was at our right hand, and facing it on the other side of our road were two massive red-coloured peaks. These black and red mountains were the door-posts of our Dolomite portal. Beyond them the scenery was entirely changed. Low hills like buttresses, or kerb-stones, were on either side of us, and

then cultivated land, and soft pine-tree woods, while before us opened the great broad valley of the Upper and Lower Pusterthal, with lofty mountains beyond, some of them snow-covered too, but they were not our Dolomites. In a few minutes we reached the Lake of Toblach, a charming piece of water through which flows the Rienz. A narrow strip of sloping pine-wood, temptingly laid out with wind ing paths, with seats and benches, commanding pleasant views, lies between it and the road. Through the

of Toblach, where we were once more in touch with the railway systems of Europe. We were soon far away from our mountains, amid ' fresh scenes and pastures new,' but the impression never weakened that as there is but one Venice, so there is but one region of the Dolomites, both alike unique in the charm of their character, their history, and their endless interests.

guide lives in the Inn.) In our journey through the Dolomite Mountains our resting-places had hitherto been towns and villages, boast ing a great antiquity. In contrast to all these our last halting-place was neither a town, nor a village, but a little German wayside inn that is but of yesterday. Half-a-century ago, when there were no railways circling round and round the Dolomites, when the snort and the tramp of the iron horse were heard, neither at Belluno, nor at Toblach, the traffic that passed

202 THROUGH THE DOLOMITES this way. One can imagine the cheerful bustling life of the valley in those days, when hundreds of teams of horses, with their hearty drivers and woodmen, were engaged in the traffic. Hans Plöner, a shrewd German, lived at a little place called Schluderbach, near Toblach. He thought that at the lonely spot, where we now were, a 'halfway house' might be a useful and paying concern, and so in 1836 he settled here and opened a small osteria with ' lodgment for strangers

.' By-and-by he bought a piece of land, cleared it of trees, and built an inn. The spot was then called Carbonin, but gradually the name was disused, and that of the place the enterprising German came from was sub stituted, hence Schluderbach. Now the house is owned by the grandson of the founder, who has enlarged it, and adapted it to the changed times in which he lives, Schluderbach is about eleven miles from Cortina, eight from Toblach, five from Misurina, up the lateral valley which here joins the

As it is here, too, that the road to Cortina and Toblach turns westward, many travellers, especially those who are only passing through, prefer to stop to change their horses, or to pass a night, rather than go on to Pieve, which is about a mile eastward on the Auronzo road, and can be easily reached on foot.

We asked them what they did with their game, and they said they sold it to the hotel-keepers at Cortina and Toblach, and that a good-sized chamois fetched about twenty florins. During a later excursion we had a talk with another of these cacciatori , as they are called. He, too, was a thin, spare, wiry fellow.
