The Königswiese ( Italian Monte Prato del Re ) is a 1622  m high mountain in the Fiemme Valley Alps .

Location and surroundings

The Königswiese is located in the south of South Tyrol ( Italy ) above the Unterland in the area of ​​the municipality of Neumarkt and is part of the Trudner Horn Nature Park . To the west into the Etschtal , to the north into the valley of the Trudner Bach and to the south into the Aaltal, which separates it from the Madruttberg , the Königswiese breaks off with steep, wooded flanks. In the east, the Gfriller saddle ( 1450  m ) forms a transition to the Trudner Horn .

topography

The Königswiese is divided internally by demolitions that form several terraces. The highest point of the Königswiese, accessible by hiking trails, is in the southeast. On a terrace a little to the north of it, the large meadow is an open space on the otherwise largely wooded mountain. The southwestern part of the Königswiese is called Eiserwald and is crossed by the Banklsteig , which leads up from the Unterland to Gfrill . The northern slopes are called Gstoagerwald and are accessed from the Kanzelweg , which leads to the Kanzel viewpoint and on to the lonely Gstoagerhof on a northeast-facing meadow near Gschnon .

Settled areas on the Königswiese only form the winegrowing terrace of the Neumarkt Fraction Mazon in the northwest and a small plateau near Gfrill in the south.

Surname

The name may be reminiscent of a royal Meier or Reichshof that existed near Neumarkt during the Lombard rule.
