The Cislon or Zislon (stress on the second syllable; also Cisloner Berg , Italian Monte Cislón ) is a 1563  m high mountain in the Fiemme Valley Alps .

Location and surroundings

The Cislon forms a broad, mostly wooded mountain ridge running in a south-west-north-east direction, which is protected in the Trudner Horn Nature Park . In the west it falls - with a few breaks - to the section of the Adige Valley in South Tyrol ( Italy ) called the Unterland . On some offshore terraces the community is there Montan with its fractions Glen , Pinzon and Kalditsch . The Castelfeder hill is a foothill that extends into the Adige Valley . Towards the south the Cislon falls into the valley of the Trudner Bach , which separates it from the Königswiese and the Trudner Horn , towards the north into the valley of the Schwarzenbach , behind which the Regglberg begins. The village of Truden is located on a saddle on its east side .

topography

The extensive, wooded summit plateau rises slightly from southwest to northeast. In the southwest, near the abruptions into the valley of the Trudner Bach called the Cislon walls , is the managed Cisloner Alm ( 1249  m ). In the north-east, the Cislon reaches its highest point with a height of 1563  m at a little prominent knoll called Cucul . The high wall ( 1301  m ) is located above the cliff leading to the Schwarzenbach valley at the northern end of the plateau .

In 1234 the Cislon was mentioned in a Latin text as saso montis Ciani , around 1500 it appeared in German as Zys . In the Atlas Tyrolensis from the second half of the 18th century, the cartographers noted it as Zislon B. It is probably a derivation from the Latin caesa meaning hedge , fence and refers to a fenced-off alpine area.
