The Tullen is a 2652 m high mountain in the South Tyrolean Dolomites ( Italy ).
Location and surroundings
The Tullen is the highest peak of the Aferer Geisler , a subgroup of the Peitlerkofel group in the western Dolomites. The Aferer Geisler is a mountain range running in east-west direction, which separates the Aferer and Lüsner valley in the north and the Villnößtal in the south. The Tullen is located roughly in the middle of this subgroup, the next important peaks are the Weißlahngrat ( 2494 m ) in the west and the Wälsche Ring ( 2607 m ) in the east .
The Tullen lies in the area of the South Tyrolean community Villnöß and is part of the Puez-Geisler Nature Park .
Alpinism
The summit of the Tullen, on which there is a cross, is accessed by the Günther-Messner-Steig , which crosses the Aferer Geisler on its southern slopes. At the height of the Tullen, a rock path branches off with a short secured rock passage that leads to the narrow summit ridge.
Surname
While Aferer Geisler modern coinage from the early 1900's, knows the local population for parts of the mountain ridge, also the Tullen is in the, the term Ruefen or Rueffen . This is why the name Tullen was first used on an Austrian military map around 1900 as an alternative name, Rueffen . Rueffen can possibly be traced back to a reconstructed * rova ( Ladin rueva or ròa ) with the meaning of mudslides , landslides , scree slopes , which fits well with the topographical conditions in the area. Tullen is probably related to the German South Tyrolean dialect word Tul (e) , which among other things denotes a blunt thing or a hornless ram and could thus refer to the shape of the peak of the mountain.
