The 3092 m slm high Elferkofel or shortly penalty ( Italian Cima Undici ) with its North summit the highest peak of him Elfer group named in the Sesto Dolomites . The mountain is located on the border between South Tyrol and the province of Belluno , the part in South Tyrol belongs to the Drei Zinnen nature park . The southern summit also exceeds the three-thousand-meter limit with 3068 m slm .
To the south is the Elferturm ( 2820 m slm ). The penalty is a part of the Sesto sundial which the population Sesto fairly reliable determination of the time of day allowed based on the sun's position (e). The mountain group, the Elfer massif , also includes the Sesto Rotwand upstream to the north , the Zsigmondykopf , the Hochbrunner Schneid as well as Monte Giralba di Sopra and Monte Giralba di Sotto . The Elfer massif is the only mountain group in the Sesto Dolomites to which several small glacier remains have been able to adhere.
The first ascent of the southern summit of the Elferkofel was achieved in 1878 by the Dolomite guide Michel Innerkofler from Sexten. His brother Hans Innerkofler and Baron Roland von Eötvös stayed below the summit.
In many places you can find remains of the military positions established during the First World War . Mountaineers and high-altitude hikers still encounter shelters, machine gun nests, remains of old wooden ladders, structures and relics made of barbed wire in many places today, e.g. B. in the area of the Elferscharte . The Italian position there was supplied by the Alpini via a climbing system blasted into the ledges. Today the Alpinisteig ( Strada degli Alpini ), which is very popular among climbing enthusiasts , leads along this route . Sure-footed, vertigo-free and appropriately equipped mountaineers can follow in the footsteps of the Alpini via this iron path without great difference in altitude along the west side of the massif from Giralbajoch to Elferscharte and from there eastwards to the Sentinellascharte.
