The Tinzenhorn ( Rhaeto-Romanic Corn da Tinizong , in the local idiom Surmiran Corn da Tinizung ) is a mountain east of Savognin and southwest of Filisur in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland with an altitude of 3,173 m . Petrified dinosaur footprints were found on the Tinzenhorn . It is a slender, boldly soaring spire of almost Gothic appearance, the four walls of which fall into partially torn walls.
Location and surroundings
The Tinzenhorn belongs to the Bergüner sticks , a subgroup of the Albula Alps . The Tinzenhorn separates the Albula Valley in the north from the Oberhalbstein in the southwest . The summit is in the municipality of Bergün Filisur , but the municipality border with Surses is only 191 m away.
The neighboring peaks of the Tinzenhorn include Piz Mitgel , Piz Ela and Pizza Grossa .
At the foot of the Tinzenhorn there is the often visited mountain lake Lai Tigiel ( 2462 m ) and the digls Orgels pass ( 2699 m ), with its pointed, narrow and partly perforated dolomite gendarmes, which are reminiscent of the organ pipes of a church organ. Both the Lai Tigiel and the digls Orgels pass can be easily reached on a good and well-marked hiking trail.
The mountain lies in the middle of Parc Ela , a 600 square kilometer nature park opened in 2006 .
Valley locations are Savognin and Tinizong in Oberhalbstein, as well as Filisur and Bergün in the Albula valley. Starting points are the Ela hut in the lonely Val Spadlatscha and the Alp Plang la Curvanera, which can be reached via a narrow alpine road .
Fossil finds
Petrified dinosaur footprints were found on the Tinzenhorn . The traces come from sauropods from the Triassic period , when the rocks were still at sea level 200 to 210 million years ago. The tracks are considered to be the oldest such evidence in the world.
The Tinzenhorn in art
In many of the landscape paintings by the expressionist painter Ernst Ludwig Kirchner , who lived and worked in Davos with interruptions from 1917, the Tinzenhorn occupies an important position. The Tinzenhorn - Zügenschlucht near Monstein work from 1919/20 is dedicated to this mountain.
Routes to the summit
Frequent starting points are the Ela hut and Plang la Curvanera. A little road from Savognin via Tussagn leads to the Plang la Curvanera car park ( 1893 m above sea level ) . The alpine road from Tinizong into the Val d'Err to Penza is closed to general motor vehicle traffic. A hiking bus runs from Savognin to Plang la Curvanera on Wednesdays and to Pensa on Tuesdays and Fridays.
