Tinnetal
The Tinnetal (also Thinnetal ) is the orographically right side valley of the Eisack Valley in South Tyrol that is drained by the Tinnebach . It branches off near the town of Klausen and initially heads northwest, later west into the Sarntal Alps . Administratively it is divided between the municipalities of Klausen and Villandro .
course
In its initial area just south of the city center of Klausn, the Tinnetal is separated from the Eisack valley by the Säbener Berg and strives roughly in a north-westerly direction. On the north side above the narrow, partly gorge-like valley floor (hence the name Tinneschlucht ), low mountain range terraces offer space for the settlement areas of Verdings and Latzfons . From about the height of Schloss Gernstein, the valley runs in a westerly direction. The valley ends in the headwaters of the Tinnebach on the Villanderer Alm .
geology
Geologically, the catchment area of the Tinnebach, especially in the northern area, as in the Eisack Valley in general, consists of quartz phyllite . In the southern area the Villnösser fault line extends into the Tinnetal. In this area, the subsoil consists mainly of diorite . Due to the high proportion of green hornblende , the diorite used here is called clausenite . On the south side of the Tinnetal there is one of the formerly important South Tyrolean silver mining areas with the Villandro mine on the Pfunderer Berg .
