The Rosengartengruppe , mostly simply Rosengarten ( Italian Catinaccio , Ladin Ciadenac, Ciadenáze ), is a mountain range of the Dolomites in Trentino and in South Tyrol ( Italy ). Most of the South Tyrolean part has belonged to the Schlern-Rosengarten Nature Park since 2003 ; Since 2009, the Rosengarten group has been part of the Dolomites World Heritage Site along with eight other areas .
etymology
The name Rosengarten , which sounds little alpine and is used for both the Rosengartenspitze and the entire massif, has been documented since early modern times (around 1506 Kofl am Rosengarten ); it is not derived from a garden full of roses, as is reported aetiologically in the Laurin legend , nor from the rocks that seem to glow fiery red at dusk at sunset, even if these motifs have subsequently reshaped the name. Linguists suspect that the field name , which appears several times in South Tyrol, goes back to the old word ruza , which was used to designate a scree slope . The Italian name Catinaccio for the mountain massif should not be synonymous with "large, wild (mountain) chain", as is usually assumed, but rather come from the Ladin word ciadenac , which means mountain or scree basin .
location
The rose garden is located between the Tiers valley and the Eggental on the west and the Fassa valley on the east. It runs in a north-south direction from the Schlern group , with which it is sometimes combined to form the Schlern-Rosengarten group , to the Karer Pass and has a length of about 8 km.
summit
The highest elevation is the Kesselkogel (Italian Catinaccio d'Antermoia ) with a height of 3004 meters. It can be climbed from the Grasleiten Pass or from the Antermoia Valley via an easy via ferrata. The first ascent took place in 1873 by the British C. Comyn Tucker and TH Carson with the guide A. Bernard.
The second highest peak in the Rosengarten group is the Rosengartenspitze . It is 2981 meters high and lies in the middle of the Rosengarten massif, the normal route has the second degree of difficulty. Via this it was first climbed on August 31, 1874, also by C. Comyn Tucker and TH Carson with the guide Francois Devouassoud.

Laurin legend
The Laurin legend explains the alpenglow of the rose garden (here called Rosadira ) as the result of a curse in which the defeated dwarf king Laurin forgot the transition between day and night (see King Laurin's rose garden ).
