The Plose
The Plose is a mountain range in the Lüsener mountains near Brixen in South Tyrol (Italy). On it are several peaks: Telegraph ( 2504 m slm ), Pfannspitze ( 2547 m slm ) and Gabler ( 2562 m slm ). The Plose is the west by the Eisack and Rienz, in the north and east by the valley of the brook Lasankenbach Lüsner and on the south by the valley of the Afersbach ( Sade ) limited to the road over the Passo delle Erbe. This leads on to the Ladin Val Badia and Untermoi (Val Badia ).
Because of its gently rolling hills Plose is suitable for skiing and developed by numerous ski lifts. The Plosebahn leads from beneath nearby St. Andrew directly to the ski. Particularly well known is the Trametsch - piste which applies with a total length of 9 km, the longest run in South Tyrol. The Plose is also perfect for hiking with a remarkable panorama. Just south of Telegraph and west of Pfannspitze and Gabler is the Plosehütte.
According to Josef Rampold the name Plose has nothing to do with blasendem wind, but probably refers to the treeless, barren nakedness of the summit dome.
Situated on the south side of Plose place Palmschoss is not historically insignificant. So was in the 1960s and 1970s, above the village of a NATO base from which led a small cable car to the radar station on the telegraph. Further still located at Palmschoss the building of a former tuberculosis sanatorium, which was built in 1913. Palmschoss was chosen as the location because it was one of the places with the most sunshine in the former Austro-Hungarian monarchy. The architectural design for this is provided by Otto Wagner.
Middle of the 20th century was discovered a source at about 1870 m in the area of Palmschoss and investigated for their suitability as bottled water. Since the water analyzes failed cheap, you began to grasp the source professionally in 1953. In June 1957 a small bottling plant of the Plose Quelle AG was commissioned and started the bottling of mineral water bottled in Palmschoss. Was founded in 1974 in the industrial area of Brixen, a modern bottling plant. In 2002 a further 3 secondary sources of Plose were passed to potentiate the production of mineral water. The family Plose Quelle AG is from the beginning until now owned by the Fellin family.
