The Kollinkofel , also known as the Kollinspitze (Italian: Creta di Collina ), is a mountain in the eastern Carnic Alps , a mountain range in the Southern Limestone Alps , according to German-language literature 2691 and according to Italian information . It is the eastern end point of the Kellerwandgrat , which here forms the Carnic main ridge . The summit lies exactly on the state border between Italy, Friuli-Venezia Giulia , and Austria, Carinthia . Seen from the southeast, the mountain has a mighty, dominant appearance. It is made of pale Devonian limestone , a period of the Paleozoic Geological Age .
location
According to the Alpine Club Guide, the location on the Austrian map (ÖK 50) is clearly wrong. A summit cross is drawn in there and an altitude of 2742 m is given ( ). In the AVF, this point is called the crown and represents the easternmost culmination point of the basement wall ridge.
Surroundings
The Kollinkofel has only a few significant neighboring mountains. To the west, along the basement wall ridge, are the peaks of the Kellerspitzen ( Creta delle Chianevate , eastern main summit with 2769 meters, the western secondary summit with 2718 meters). To the east, separated by the so-called Green Cutting Edge ( Cresta verde , a grass-covered saddle at 2086 m), lies the 2238-meter-high Frischenkofel , also called Cellon ( Creta di Collinetta ). The next significant settlements on the Italian side are Timau in Val Grande , which is just 8 kilometers as the crow flies to the east, and Kötschach-Mauthen 9 kilometers to the northeast. The Plöckenpass road runs about 2.5 kilometers to the east.
history
The Kollinkofel was first climbed in 1860 by Adam Riebler, the elder, Th. Bucher and F. Stramitzer over the Eiskar from the Valentintal . On September 22, 1862, Edmund von Mojsisovics and A. Waldner from Dellach , led by the blacksmith from Mauthen, who was not mentioned by name and who had already reached the summit several times on the occasion of hunts, climbed the mountain again with the aim of crossing it and to the to get to neighboring cellar tops . We left the Plöckenhaus at the Plöckenpass at 4 a.m. Carl Diener writes: “ The ridge that runs west from here to the highest point of the cellar wall seemed to Dr. E. von Mojsisovics insurmountable without artificial aids. “So the group dismounted after two hours on the same route, but got lost due to the gathering fog and did not reach the Upper Collinalpe until around 2 pm. Even Paul Grohmann with his mountain guide Nicolò Sottocorona did not manage to reach the top of the cellar on July 20, 1867. You also had to descend from the Kollinkofel in the same way.
Bases and routes
E. v. Mojsisovic's route from the Plöckenpass over the Upper Collinalpe and the southeast ridge is still the normal route today , i.e. the easiest ascent, which, according to the literature, has a UIAA I level of difficulty in some places . The walking time is around 3 to 4 hours. The Rifugio Giovanni e Olinto Marinelli at 2120 meters above sea level, east above Collina, can serve as a base from the south . On the Kollinkofel, however, there are also serious climbing routes with difficulty levels UIAA II on the east ridge and up to VI + / A0 in the so-called Via Asterix through the southwest face .
