It is one of the most striking skylines created by nature – the unique Sexten Sun Dial mountains. The Dolomite peaks number Nine, Ten (Rotwand/Croda Rossa), Eleven, Twelve and One tower high above Sexten and jointly form the imposing stone clockwork. The position of the sun above these peaks can be used to determine the time on clear winter days. And: The Sexten Sun Dial also offers continuous new incentive and stimulation to challenge new records and to go beyond one’s personal limits – or even beyond the limits of the imaginable. The people of Sexten are really creative in this context! Greti Rogger, the innkeeper at the Büllelejoch/Pian di Cengia hut, and her son Daniel have managed to climb all five peaks of the Sun Dial on a single day. It is hard to imagine a more intense race against time!
Insider hint: The best place and time to watch the sun above the Sexten Sun Dial is the main road between Moos and the Congress Hall “Haus Sexten” – in winter! This is when the sun dial will match the time of day rather well.
