Il gruppo del Catinaccio (in tedesco Rosengartengruppe o solo Rosengarten, in ladino Ciadenac o Vaiolon) è un massiccio delle Dolomiti situato tra la valle di Tires, la val d'Ega e la val di Fassa nel Parco naturale dello Sciliar. La cima più elevata del gruppo, al centro nella foto, è il Catinaccio d'Antermoia (3.004 m, secondo altre fonti, 3.002 m.). Caratteristica del gruppo è la colorazione rosata che assume al tramonto, fenomeno visivo chiamato enrosadira. Una delle più suggestive leggende delle Dolomiti, spiega perchè queste montagne, al tramonto si tingono di rosa. Secondo questa leggenda, nel “catino” del Catinaccio, si trovava il “giardino di rose di Re Laurino”. Ecco perché in tedesco il Catinaccio si chiama Rosengarten, cioè Giardino delle Rose. Re Laurino regnava su un popolo di nani che scavava nelle viscere della montagna alla ricerca di cristalli, argento ed oro e possedeva altresì due armi magiche: una cintura che gli forniva una forza pari a quella di dodici uomini ed una cappa che lo rendeva invisibile. Un giorno il re dell'Adige decise di maritare la bellissima figlia Similde e per questo motivo invitò tutti i nobili del circondario ad una gita di maggio, tutti tranne Re Laurino. Questi decise allora di partecipare comunque, ma come ospite invisibile. Quando sul campo del torneo cavalleresco ebbe modo di vedere Similde, colpito dalla sua stupenda figura, se ne innamorò all'istante, la caricò in groppa al suo cavallo e fuggì a spron battuto. I combattenti si lanciarono subito all'inseguimento per riportare indietro Similde, schierandosi in breve davanti al Giardino delle Rose. Re Laurino allora indossò la cintura, che gli dava la forza di dodici uomini e si gettò nella lotta. Quando si rese conto che nonostante tutto stava per soccombere, indossò la cappa e si mise a saltellare qua e là nel giardino, convinto di non essere visto. Ma i cavalieri riuscirono ad individuarlo osservando il movimento delle rose sotto le quali Laurino cercava di nascondersi. Lo afferrarono, tagliarono la cintura magica e lo imprigionarono. Laurino irritato per il destino avverso, si girò verso il Rosengarten, che lo aveva tradito e gli lanciò una maledizione: né di giorno, né di notte alcun occhio umano avrebbe potuto più ammirarlo. Laurino però dimenticò il tramonto e l'alba. Così da allora accade che il Catinaccio, sia al tramonto sia all'alba, si colori come un giardino di ineguagliabile bellezza. Scatto effettuato nel mese di Luglio 2017.

Franco, already a king who cultivates roses can not get a general sympathy!
Then, you know, women lose their heads and ... freedom!
Double dose of sympathy!
A great thank you for your welcome comment!

Maximum, what a wonderful series of dolomitic photos, beautiful colors, contrasts of lights and shadows, a show, compliments!
Lately I do not understand why I'm not aware of your updates, I'm getting late, but you're clearly among my "friends", but I'm ...
A greeting

Peter, thank you so much for your comment and for the appreciation of my dolomitic shots!
I'm so glad!
For the rest, however, if I have something to reproach you is nothing but your "poor productivity" of shots or, at least, those that you publish on Juza!
Hi and good weekend!

Massimo :-)

Maximum, I'm sure you will be sitting on that lawn to silently admire that panorama, gratifying your spirit, I envy you.
Great shot, wonderful caption.

Eraldo, the Catinaccio is the mountain of the Dolomites which, along with the Sella, prefer, perhaps because they are the two mountains I know best. But the Catinaccio is also linked to the beautiful legend of King Laurino, which would explain the phenomenon of enrosadira, which is a really exciting spectacle.
When you go up or, at least, you look up, the spirit always gets its gratification! These visions is as if they fill you with "Infinity"!
Many thanks for the appreciation of the shot and for the comment that made me a pleasure!
mandi.

Massimo :-)
