Penegal

The Penegal ( Monte Penegal 1737 m) is a mountain in Mendelkamm in South Tyrol on the border of Trentino. A narrow and winding, toll-free road leads from the Mendel pass over 3.9 km with an altitude difference of 358 meters to the summit.

The Penegal is one of the most beautiful scenic mountains of South Tyrol, overlooking the Brenta Group in the southwest, the Ortler Mountains in the west and the Dolomites in the east, and the valley side Bolzano and Kaltern with the Caldaro.

At the summit, which is divided between the municipalities Ruffrè, Sarno Nico, Caldaro and Appiano, a hotel, a café kiosk with small animal enclosure and an observation tower located ( closed due to disrepair of wooden steps stairs), as well as two minor increases in the transmitter Penegal.
