アウロンツォディカドーレの天然記念物・トップ20

The Patern Saddle, also known as Forcella Lavaredo, lies at an altitude of approximately 2,454 meters between the Lavaredo Hut and the Dreizinnen Hut. It is one of the most famous viewpoints in the Sesto Dolomites and offers direct views of the imposing north faces of the Three Peaks. The pass is easily accessible, usually via the hiking trail from the Auronzo Hut, and is considered a key point on the classic circular route around the Three Peaks. Thanks to its location, it is not only a popular photo opportunity but also a place to linger before continuing on to the surrounding huts or embarking on more challenging mountain tours.

The Talschlusshütte in the Fischleintal valley is located in the middle of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, at an altitude of 1,548 m and at the entrance to the famous Drei Zinnen Nature Park. The hut is located at the foot of the Sextner Sonnenuhr, the Dreischusterspitze and the limestone towers of the Rotwand. It is open all year round. The hut was briefly on the verge of closing in the 1990s. However, the closure was averted. Celebrities such as Luis Trenker, Reinhold Messner, Hans Kammerlander and Franz Klammer are among the hut's former visitors.

Here, at the foot of the Three Peaks, the Rienz river has its source at an altitude of 2180 m. In its upper reaches, the river initially crosses protected areas in the Three Peaks Nature Park and the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park, namely the short Rienz valley and then the Höhlenstein valley.
