The Regglberg or Reggelberg is a mountain ridge in the south-east of South Tyrol in Italy, which is divided into many different forms by hilltops and valleys . It is counted among the Fiemme Valley Alps . In the west it is bounded by the Adige Valley , in the east by Eggental and in the north by the Bozen valley basin. In the south it is dominated by the Weißhorn . The height of the ridge varies between about 1000  m slm and 1800  m . The majority of the Regglberg with almost all settlements and farms belongs to the communities of Aldein and Deutschnofen . On the north and west end of the ridge alone are Kohlern , Since and Breitenberg on the municipalities of Bolzano and Laives .

Surname

The name Reggl or Regglberg and Regglberger, which the article writer in the Tiroler Bote 1821 reproduced with Reckelberg and Reckelberger, but did not know how to interpret, Johann Baptist Schöpf in his Tyrolean Idiotikon connects with North German Reckel , a word that has a rough, unpolished word Called people. The linguist Egon Kühebacher , however, points out the bar division in Deutschnofen, which, by the way, can also be found for Aldein, and the word regulae , which comes from the Latin administrative language and denoted a part of the area and was Germanized as Regl / Riegel. In 1459 the name 'Aldeiner Berg' ( mons Aldeni ) is documented for the ridge .

geology

The Regglberg, together with the Renon and the Tschögglberg, is one of the middle mountain ranges in the area around Bolzano, which are largely made up of the Etschtal volcanic group ( Bozen quartz porphyry ) . This type of porphyrus consists of quartz, feldspar ( orthoclase ) and mica ( biotite ), which can occur in different proportions in terms of quantity.

The vulcanite plate, which is over 1000 m thick, no longer shows its original shape because of its fractures. So z. B. in the settlement area of ​​Deutschnofen and that of Eggen - between the village of Eggen and the hamlet of Rauth - their upper boundary is about 500 meters below that of the surroundings. Here it reaches an average altitude of 1200 meters, while on the Kohlerer Berg (Titschen, 1616  m ), on the Laabberg ( 1640  m ), Liegberg ( 1750  m ), in Weißenstein ( 1520  m ) and on the Samberg in Eggen ( 1597  m ) rises abruptly as an enclosure.

The most important valleys on Regglberg are the Brantental that by the Brant Bach to Laives is drained out and the south, the 400-meter deep gorge of the White Horn springing Bletterbachs .
