According to legend, King Laurin turned his rose garden into petrified rock. The massif, with the Rosengartenspitze, offers demanding via ferratas and hikes across scenic alpine meadows.<\/p>\n<h2>Highlights<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Enrosadira, the rose-red alpenglow of the walls<\/li>\n<li>Legend of King Laurin's rose garden<\/li>\n<li>Via ferratas and hut hikes around the massif<\/li>\n<li>View from the K\u00f6lner H\u00fctte and the Karer Pass<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Good to know<\/h2>\n<table class=\"at-vergleich\" style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;\">\n<tr style=\"background:#ffffff;\">\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #e3e0d8;width:34%;font-weight:600;\">Elevation<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #e3e0d8;\">Rosengartenspitze 2,981 m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background:#fafaf8;\">\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #e3e0d8;width:34%;font-weight:600;\">Special feature<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #e3e0d8;\">Enrosadira (alpenglow)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background:#ffffff;\">\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #e3e0d8;width:34%;font-weight:600;\">World Heritage<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #e3e0d8;\">UNESCO Dolomites<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background:#fafaf8;\">\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #e3e0d8;width:34%;font-weight:600;\">Starting points<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #e3e0d8;\">Karerpass, Eggental, Fassatal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Practical info<\/h2>\n<div style=\"background:#f3f1ec;border:1px solid #e3e0d8;border-radius:10px;padding:18px 20px;\">\n<p style=\"margin:6px 0;line-height:1.55;\"><strong style=\"color:#f25353;\">Getting there:<\/strong> By car or bus to the Karer Pass; cable car to the K\u00f6lner H\u00fctte.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:6px 0;line-height:1.55;\"><strong style=\"color:#f25353;\">Best time:<\/strong> June to October; sunset for the Enrosadira.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:6px 0;line-height:1.55;\"><strong style=\"color:#f25353;\">Cost:<\/strong> Cable cars payable (please verify); hiking trails free.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:6px 0;line-height:1.55;\"><strong style=\"color:#f25353;\">Safety:<\/strong> Via ferratas only with a set and experience; hiking trails well marked.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:12px 0 4px;\"><strong style=\"color:#f25353;\">Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-top:0;\">\n<li>Stay for sunset at the Karersee or Karer Pass<\/li>\n<li>The Karersee in front reflects the massif especially beautifully<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Background &amp; History<\/h2>\n<p>The Rosengarten, Italian Catinaccio, is one of the most famous mountain massifs of the Dolomites and owes its poetic name to one of the most beautiful legends of the Alpine region. According to the legend, the dwarf king Laurin possessed a magnificent rose garden here. When his kingdom was taken from him, he cursed the roses so that they should never again be seen by day or by night. In his anger, however, he forgot the twilight, and so the rock faces glow to this day at dawn and dusk in that rosy light which the Ladins call Enrosadira.<\/p>\n<p>This legend tells in the guise of a fairy tale what natural science explains as the alpenglow: the warm light that the pale dolomite walls take on shortly before sunrise and after sunset. Geologically the massif consists of the petrified remains of prehistoric coral reefs that formed around 250 million years ago in a tropical sea and were later folded up. With its bold towers and walls, foremost among them the Vajolet Towers, the Rosengarten has belonged since the pioneer days of mountaineering to the great destinations of longing for climbers and is today part of the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#221c1a;color:#fff;border-radius:10px;padding:18px 22px;margin-top:28px;\"><strong style=\"font-size:1.08em;\">Related<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:6px 0 12px;color:#d8d2cc;font-size:14px;\">To make your trip run smoothly , our guides and gear tips for this destination:<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:10px;\"><a href=\"\/en\/wanderschuhe\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Hiking boots \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/schichtenprinzip-bekleidung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Layering guide for clothing \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/packliste-tages-bergwanderung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Day-tour packing list \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/packliste-huettentour\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Hut-tour packing list \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/huettenwandern-einsteiger\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Hut hiking for beginners \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Der Rosengarten ist eines der bekanntesten Dolomitenmassive und ber\u00fchmt f\u00fcr die Enrosadira, das intensive rosarote Gl\u00fchen seiner W\u00e4nde bei Sonnenuntergang.
