In an attempt to caution against war, and a desire for peace in Europe, the Museum accurately documents the WWI Front from the Ortler Mountains to the plains of the Isonzo. The region's history during the War is presented by revealing the fate of common soldiers as well as that of the local civilian populations from both sides. This is successfully accomplished with the aid of numerous photographs, documents, personal items of the soldiers, as well as artifacts and displays which include excellent recreations of various structures. The museum also allows the visitor to see how the "Paths of Peace" have been paved by the hard work of the "Friends of the Dolomites". These paths stretch from the Plocken Pass in the east to the Col di Lana in the west.

The historical experimentThe medieval construction site, located in the southern part of Friesach (the oldest city of Carinthia) which spans over 6.5 hectares, presents a great historical experiment to its visitors. A medieval castle is being erected – with medieval methods and without modern tools. No motors or electricity are used, only human effort with the aid of animals. The highest possible authenticity is the main aim of this construction site. Additionally, only natural materials like wood, stone, lime, sand, and water are being used.Opening hours:Individual visitors are asked to take guided tours availabledaily at 9:30 am, 11:00 am, 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm.
