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.

Many thanks to Sergio for the appreciation of the shot that really gave me great satisfaction!
However, on my part, it was only luck to have found a day with a very special light and, as far as the landscape, ....
So congratulations if they all deserve "mother nature" !!!

Thank you so much, Annamaria!
The appreciation of the shot and caption on your part make me a great pleasure!
I wanted to include what, in my opinion, is perhaps the most beautiful among the many legends that float from the dolomitic peaks!
Hi and good evening!
