The Madruttberg (also Madrutberg , Italian La Madrutta ) is a 1507  m high mountain in the Fiemme Valley Alps .

Location and surroundings

The Madruttberg is located in the south of South Tyrol ( Italy ) above the Unterland and is part of the Trudner Horn Nature Park . To the east, where the Salurn fraction Gfrill is between several wooded elevations of the mountain ridge between the Adige and Cembra valleys , it slopes relatively gently. From here a forest path also leads to the summit. In the north it is separated from the Königswiese by the Aaltal valley, and in the south by the Laukustal from Buchholz, which also belongs to Salurn . To the west into the Etsch valley , it breaks off steeply with its high Madrutter Wall or Ursula Wall and wide scree slopes that dominate the view of the southern lowlands. At its foot in the valley floor is Laag , a fraction of the Neumarkt municipality . This is where the Dürerweg begins, which crosses the southwest slopes of the Madruttberg on the first stretch.

Surname

The name Madrutt is based on a Romanesque monte ruptu , translated as broken mountain , which refers to the steep slope of the Madrutt wall. A document for the Matrudberg or Prochenberg has come down to us from 1548 , a literal German translation of the Romance root, which, however, did not subsequently gain acceptance. The Atlas Tyrolensis from the second half of the 18th century only knew one Madruter B.
