The Große Kinigat (Italian Monte Cavallino ) is, after the Hohe Warte and the Hochweißstein , at 2689 m above sea level. A. the third highest mountain of the Carnic main ridge and lies on the border between East Tyrol and the Italian province of Belluno .
The first ascent took place on July 21, 1898 by Anton Victorin from Sillian with Peter Tassenbacher, who climbed the Königswand ( 2686 m above sea level ) in the same train .
On the summit, which was fiercely contested during the First World War - the Italian military wanted to gain access to the Puster Valley - the European Cross was erected in July 1979. This project was funded by the municipality of Kartitsch and the local rifle company , but also by citizens of the neighboring Italian municipality of Comelico Superiore. At the inauguration of the summit cross, which was combined with a mountain mass held in German and Italian, the mayors of the two municipalities also put up a plaque with the inscription “Never again war” . The European cross became a symbol of the rediscovered peace , the once hostile ethnic groups.
Even today, every year, usually on the last Sunday in August, mountain friends meet for the Kinigat mountain mass, in which the bishops of Belluno and Innsbruck have already participated.
According to media reports from the beginning of June 2011, the area in which the Große Kinigat is located, including the Rosskopf, was to be sold by the Austrian Federal Real Estate Company (BIG) for 121,000 euros. In the middle of the same month, after protests, it was said that these plans had been abandoned after talks with Economics Minister Reinhold Mitterlehner and that they were looking for a solution within Austria. In mid-August 2011 it was reported that the two mountains had been sold to the Austrian Federal Forests .
