Drei Zinnen - Tre Cime di Lavaredo
Südtirol / Alto Adige
Italien / Italy
The "Drei Zinnen" are three distinctive battlement-like peaks, in the Sexten Dolomites of northeastern Italy. They are probably one of the best-known mountain groups in the Alps. The three peaks, from east to west, are:
- Cima Piccola / Kleine Zinne ("little peak") (2,857 metres (9,373 ft))
- Cima Grande / Große Zinne ("big peak") (2,999 metres (9,839 ft))
- Cima Ovest / Westliche Zinne ("western peak") (2,973 metres (9,754 ft))
Until 1919 the peaks formed part of the border between Italy and Austria-Hungary. Now they lie on the border between the Italian provinces of South Tyrol and Belluno and still are a part of the linguistic boundary between German-speaking and Italian-speaking majorities.
Mountains are my passion
