The Schwarzhorn ( Italian Corno Nero ) is a 2439 m high mountain in the Fleimstal Alps on the border between South Tyrol and Trentino ( Italy ). Together with its neighboring twin mountain , the Weißhorn , it can be seen from afar due to its isolated location.
Location and surroundings
The Schwarzhorn is a freely rising mountain, which is connected in the north via the Jochgrimm with the somewhat lower Weißhorn 2317 m . Two short ridge spurs lead to the northeast to the Lavazèjoch and to the southeast into the Val di Gambis , behind which the Zanggen rises. To the south, the mountain structure drops into the Fiemme Valley near Cavalese . A relatively long ridge, which itself has a few insignificant elevations, leads first to the southwest, later to the west into the area of the San Lugano saddle .
The political border between South Tyrol and Trentino runs in a north-east-south-west direction over the summit. The South Tyrolean side belongs to the municipality of Aldein , the Trentino to the municipality of Ville di Fiemme .
Alpinism
The Schwarzhorn can be reached relatively quickly from Jochgrimm via the steep but easy northeast ridge. Another route with several access options from Radein and Jochgrimm leads over the southwest ridge to the summit.
Surname
The Schwarzhorn owes its name to the reddish-gray Bozen quartz porphyry of the summit structure, which is in clear color contrast to the dolomite rock of the neighboring Weißhorn. The mountain was first mentioned in 1411 in the phrase an dem Schwarzenperg , and in 1426 in aus dem Schwarczenhoren . In the Atlas Tyrolensis from the second half of the 18th century, the cartographers recorded him as Schwarzhorn B.
