Cima Dodici Summit

Cima Dodici (also known as Cima XII), between Portule and Ortigara, is the highest peak of the Asiago Plateau, as well as the entire province of Vicenza: 2336 meters. It is divided between Veneto and Trentino, hence the two crosses on the summit: the wooden one in Veneto territory and the metal one in Trentino territory.On the Plateau, more in the past than today, this peak is also called 'Ferrozzo' (Italianization from the Cimbrian 'Freyjoch' or 'Yoke of Freya'), because the Cimbrians consecrated it to the Germanic goddess Freya.
The toponym 'Cima Dodici', which is today the most widespread and official, was given to it by the inhabitants of Borgo Valsugana: in fact, in some periods of the year it casts shadow over the town at 12 o'clock. Together with the nearby Cima Undici and Cima Dieci (which similarly indicate the time according to the position of the sun behind them) it forms a sort of 'natural sundial'. It is precisely for this reason that the three peaks are often written on maps and texts as XII, XI, X... like on a clock!A long and challenging road, through a suggestive and rugged karst landscape, especially in the last stretch where you climb between the rocks: at the top, a breathtaking 360° view, with the sheer drop of the Valsugana under your feet!it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cima_XII
