Tschögglberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Landscape on the Salten

The Tschögglberg or Tschöggelberg ( Italian Monzoccolo ) is a mountain ridge in the southwest of the Sarntal Alps . It stretches between Bolzano and Merano on the left bank of the Adige in South Tyrol ( Italy ). In the west, the Tschögglberg is bordered by the Etschtal , in the east by the Sarntal and in the south by the Bozen basin. In the north it is dominated by the Ifinger , the Verdinser Plattenspitze , the Hochplattspitze and the Großer Mittager . In the southern part of the ridge is the extensive high plateau of the Salten .

The settlements of the Tschögglberg are predominantly between 1000 and 1500  m slm and belong (from north to south) to the four municipalities of Avelengo , Verano , Mölten and Jenesien .

geography

The Tschögglberg, together with the Ritten and the Regglberg, is one of the mid-mountain ranges in the area around Bolzano, which are largely made up of the Etschtal volcanic group ( Bozen quartz porphyry ) . The predominant porphyry rock is of volcanic origin and dates from the Permian Age . Today's relief of the Tschögglberg was largely shaped by glacial activity during the Ice Age. Today the landscape is determined by meadows and pastures alternating with extensive forests. The highest point of the Tschögglberg is the Kreuzjoch ( 2086  m slm )

From the valley, the Tschögglberg is accessible via several roads and cable cars. Road connections lead from Merano to Avelengo , from Terlan to Mölten and from Bolzano to Jenesien . A connecting road leads from Jenesien via Flaas, Mölten and Vöran to Avelengo. The cable cars connecting the Etschtal with the Tschögglberg exist between Vilpian and Mölten ( cable car Mölten ), Burgstall and Vöran ( cable car Vöran ) as well as Bozen and Jenesien ( cable car Jenesien ).

etymology

The origin of the name of the Tschögglberg, which has only been widely used since the 19th century, has not been fully clarified . It is assumed that there is a connection with the farm and spelling name "Zöggeler (Zeggeler)", which is relatively common on the high plateau, or an originally pejorative meaning as Scheltname , especially since "Tschöggl" was used to describe a clumsy, coarse farmer .

Salten

The Salten (Italian Salto ) in the south of the Tschögglberg is a unique cultural landscape in South Tyrol . Its pastures and intensively used mountain meadows are interspersed with scattered larches . The highest point of the Salten is the Tschaufenhöhe at 1468 m.

The name is attested as "Salten" in the register of the Bolzano notary Jakob Haas as early as 1242 and is based on the Middle Latin derivation from "saltus" ("forest") and the German suffix "-en". As early as the 14th century, the name appeared as a name of origin ; so in the year 1359 a "Christanus from the Salten" is documented.
