I don't know what's your opinion about mountains.
It was only in the eighteenth century people in Europe began to
that mountains were beautiful.
that time, mountains were feared by the people
on the plain, especially by the city people,
they were wild and
places
one was easily
or killed by terrible animals.
Slowly, however, people
comfortably in the towns began to grow
them. They began to feel
looking for wild excitement, as their attention turned from the man-made town to the
country; and to places
dangerous and wild. So high mountains began to be
for a holiday.
Then, mountain-climbing began to grow popular To some people, there is something
about getting to the
of a high mountain: a struggle against nature is finer than a battle
other human beings. And after a difficult climb, what a
reward it is to look down on everything within sight.
