The Danzebell (also Danzewell , Italian Cima Dentrovalle ) is a 3148 m slm high mountain in the Planeiler mountains , the southwestern part of the Ötztal Alps . The not glaciated, rocky mountain is the last pronounced peak in the western ridge of the Planeiler Mountains. Administratively, Danzebell lies on the border of the South Tyrolean municipal areas of Mals and Graun in Vinschgau .
Location and surroundings
The Danzebell is located in the ridge of the Planeiler Mountains that runs from the Falbenairspitze ( 3199 m slm ) to the southwest and separates the Langtaufer valley in the north from the Planeil valley in the south. The summit sends another distinctive ridge to the northwest; this separates two southern side valleys of the Langtaufer valley with the Ochsenberg valley and the Kühtal .
The mountain has a north and a south summit, both of which are the same height, with the north summit bearing a summit cross.
history
In the Atlas Tyrolensis published in 1774, the mountain is recorded as "Danze Welle Kopf". The Tyrolean topographer Johann Jakob Staffler , who wrote a multi-volume work on Tyrol and Vorarlberg, wrote in 1839 that the "Danzewelle-Kopf" with its 9,242 feet is one of the higher peaks than other peaks.
The first known ascent took place in 1854 as part of a military survey by the surveying officer Pöltinger. This reached the mountain from the south, from Kapron in the Langtaufer valley, via the Kaproner Alm, according to today's normal route .
The origin of the name of the mountain is not clear. Theodor Petersen , who noticed the mountain as a "considerable elevation" during his hike through the Langtaufer Valley, claimed in his 1872 report on the Ötztal Alps in the magazine of the German and Austrian Alpine Association that the mountain was called "Donsabell" by the locals what he interpreted in Romansh as "the very beautiful gentleman".
Alpinism
The most common ascent today, the normal route , starts in Kapron in the Langtaufer valley. From there it goes south, first briefly down over the Karlinbach , then following the signs to the Kaproner Alm . From there the path continues in a south-easterly direction into the Kühtal, where you later change to the right, western side of the Kühtalbach. At an altitude of about 2400 m you reach a wayside shrine dedicated to St. Martin . From this point the route leads without a path in the direction of the notch in the north-west ridge, about 200 meters from the summit, which is finally reached over steep block terrain and rubble. The north summit of Danzebell can be reached in a few minutes via the easy ridge. This ascent takes about 4½ hours.
The ascent is also possible from the south, from the Planeiltal, in around 5 hours, reaching the southern summit from the southwest via the Zerzerköpfl.
The ascent of Danzebell is also possible as part of a ski tour.
