The Jennwand , also called Jennewand (Italian: Croda Jenne ), is an Italian 2962 meter high mountain in the northern Ortler Alps in South Tyrol , according to Austrian surveys . It rises at the end of the ridge sent north by the Lasa peak and is protected in the Stilfserjoch National Park . The mountain, which is rarely climbed and has a good panoramic view, consists mainly of the famous Lasa marble , which is still quarried today in a quarry at an altitude of 2228 meters. There are also broken breaks. The Jennwand is easy to reach from Göflan to the northeast via Lake Göflan and offers climbers routes of various difficulties.
Location and surroundings
The Jennwand marks the northern end of a ridge, known as the Black Wall, which stretches from the Laaser Spitze ( Punta di Lasa ) to the north over the Nördersberg down towards the Adige Valley . It is located in the northernmost part of the Ortler Alps. Neighboring mountains in the south are the 3,305 meter high Laaser Spitze, in the east, on the other side of the Kars, with Lake Göflaner See , the white wall is 2,778 meters high. To the west, the area drops into the north-south running Laaser Tal ( Val di Lasa ). The Martell Valley ( Val Martello ) borders the area further to the east . The next significant settlements are the places Laas and Göflan , which are about five kilometers as the crow flies in the Adige Valley .
Jennwand marble and geology
Since 1829, the famous marble, which was particularly sought after by sculptors in the 19th century, has been industrially mined on the Jennwand . Compared to Carrara marble, this marble is characterized by its higher weather resistance, which made it particularly suitable for sculptures in the harsher climate north of the Alps. This rock formation was created by the action of heat and pressure on limestone in a syncline of the Lasa series that is tightly pressed to the north and falling to the south , the anticline of which tipped over to the north forms the Jennwand.
Development
In terms of tourism, the Jennwand is only of local importance. From Lake Göflan to the east, you can easily reach the summit cross via the 900 meter long east ridge , with some places with a UIAA I difficulty level . Valley locations are Laas and Göflan. The wall has been climbed since 1921. The west ridge, which was first climbed on July 13, 1921, requires UIAA grade III climbing skills in the key point . UIAA V routes were climbed in the direct west ridge in 1926 and UIAA VII- to VIII- difficulty routes (some as sporadic climbing) have been described in literature since the 1990s under the names Marmonsinfonie, Concord and Calypso .
