The history of the Alps is also a history of traffic routes. Without them, colonization and development would have been impossible. Man has crossed the Alps for trade, culture, worship, and war. As soon as a path, a road, is built through the landscape, this also changes the perception of the landscape. You can not look at traffic routes only in their geographical context. You have to consider their cultural environment as well. On the one hand, it is thanks to them that living in the Alps became possible in the first place. On the other hand, they are essential to any kind of trade and they promote cultural exchange. The photographs show places where history, present, and landscape meet.
