The Dreiländereck (also Ofen; Slovene: Peč; Italian: Monte Forno) is a mountain in the Karavanks at the top of which is the tripoint of the countries of Austria, Italy and Slovenia. It thus links the three language regions of German, Italian and Slovenian. The height of the summit is 1,508 m (AA).
The German word Ofen and the Slovenisan word peč, German loanword Pötsche, both mean 'rock' or 'cave' in this context, although the word also means 'oven'.[1] The Italian name is the literal translation (forno 'oven'). Dreiländereck ("three-land corner" i.e. tripoint) ist a modern creation.
As a result of the three language regions that meet here the mountain is related to the Dreisprachenspitze at the Stilfserjoch.
Developmentedit
The mountain has been developed into a skiing area with eight lifts and 17 km of piste served by the Dreiländereck Lift System (Dreiländereck Bergbahnen).
