Uncovering Mystery of the World's Loneliest House Stuck On Side Of Mountain

Who would not want living in an isolated house, perched on the face of a rocky mountain? Astonishingly, about 100 years ago during the World War I, a house was built on Monte Cristallo in the Dolomite Mountains of Italy. Known as "The World's Loneliest House", it is completely isolated from all the noises and crowds one can think of in a city.

How did this isolated structure gain notoriety? To catch a glimpse into the mysterious house, adventurers can navigate the steel ladders, rungs, and cables affixed to steep mountain rocks along the Via Ferrata. However, the gray wooden interior may disappoint, featuring only several white wooden chairs and little else. The cramped room adorned with wood suggests that soldiers or modern explorers seized the chance to unwind—a logical choice given that some Dolomite paths take about a week to traverse.
