Camporosso (or Camporosso in Valcanale , German: Saifnitz , Slovenian: Žabnice , Furlanic : Cjamparos ) is a fraction of the municipality of Tarvisio .

location

Camporosso is located in the Canal Valley, 804 m above sea level, 4 km west of Tarvisio , and is part of the municipality of this city. The Saifnitz watershed , which separates Gailitz and Fella and thus the catchment areas of the Mediterranean and Black Sea , lies at 805  m slm near Saifnitz .

Camporosso (Saifnitz) was originally an independent municipality with the oldest mother church - St. Giles from 1106 - in the Val Canale (Canal Valley). Saifnitz has about 650 inhabitants (as of 1995).

Surname

The name Saifnitz (1204 Sevenik , 1260 Seventz , dialect "Saffnitz") is derived from the Slavic * Zapnice, which means "place of toads", "toad village". An Italian Campo Rospo (toad field) would have the same meaning. The Slovenian place name "Žâbnice" belongs to slow. žaba - frog; the furlanic form for Saifnitz "Chiampròss" (new spelling: Cjamparos ) also indicates "toad / frog field". The current Italian place name "Camporosso" is probably a wrong translation.

migration

Saifnitz was originally a Slovenian settlement. At the end of the war in 1945, 364 people had emigrated from Camporosso (Saifnitz). 63 people came back after the war. 22 young men from Camporosso died in World War II.

While Tarvisio is predominantly Italian-speaking due to resettlements during the Second World War and immigration, the population in Camporosso, as otherwise only in Ugovizza (German: Uggowitz, Slovenian: Ukve), speaks mostly a Slovenian dialect , which is assigned to the Gailtaler Slovenian.

Place of pilgrimage

The place is located at the foot of the Luschariberg ( Monte Lussari , 1790 m), which was a place of pilgrimage for German- and Slovenian-speaking Carinthians for almost 600 years. The most famous of all the branch churches of Camporosso (Saifnitz) is located on the Luschariberg. Already Valvasor reported of large pilgrimage processions to Maria Luschari, which reached their climax in 1860 with over 100,000 pilgrims. The beautiful panoramic mountain is now accessible by a cable car. There is a rectory on the mountain below the church. There dean Mathias Kullnigg and later pastor Lambert Fertschnigg operated a weather station in the 1850s and 60s and meticulously recorded the climate.

The legend

An old tradition reports that in 1360 a shepherd was looking for lost sheep on the Luschariberg. He found her kneeling around a mountain pine tree. Amazed, he approached and saw a wooden, relief-like image of the Mother of God with the child Jesus in the bush. He brought the picture to Saifnitz and gave it to the pastor. But the next day the picture was miraculously back on Luschariberg, and again sheep were kneeling around the relief. The fall was repeated a third time. The pastor reported the incident to the Patriarch of Aquileia . He issued the ordinance that a chapel should be built at the place where the picture was found.

economy

The place belonged to Carinthia until 1918 . It is on old trade routes. The Romans had established a base here on the road from Aquileia to Virunum , the “Statio Bilachiniensis”. Today Camporosso lives mainly from tourism. Mountain and winter sports have become increasingly important. Karawanken , Carnic and Julian Alps offer interesting possibilities.

Ski World Cup races take place on the new “Di Prampero” slope on the Luschariberg. Cross-country trails and ski tours invite you to winter sports. In summer and early autumn, the region around Tarvisio and Camporosso is the mountain sports center of Friuli .

New cable car to the Luschariberg

In December 2000 the new gondola lift to the Luschariberg was opened. The modern lift system next to the main road in Camporosso was built in a construction period of seven months. A total of 91 cabins can now transport skiers, hikers and day trippers to the Luschariberg in just eleven minutes. The capacity of the new cable car is 1,800 people per hour. The three kilometers of lifts with a difference of 1000 meters in altitude are mastered on a total of 30 supports and a middle station.

But the ski slope on the valley run from Luschari to the new lift station has also been doubled and adapted to current safety standards. A new snow-making system is to ensure a safe snow situation on the four-kilometer-long slope.

In 2001 the slopes of Tarvisio were connected to the Luschari slope, so that winter sports enthusiasts have a total of 25 kilometers of ski slopes. The costs for the new lift and for the slope widening amounted to 30 billion lire.
