The Vinschgau , Vintschgau (German: [ˈfɪn(t )ʃɡaʊ] [1] or Vinschgau Valley [2] Italian : Val Venosta [ˈval veˈnɔsta] Romansh : Vnuost [ˈfnuɔ̯ʃt] ⓘ Ladin : Val Venuesta ; medieval toponym: Finsgowe ) is the upper part of the Adige or Etsch river valley, in the western part of the province of South Tyrol , Italy .
Etymology
[ edit ]
The German name Vinschgau , like Italian Val Venosta , is derived from the Celtic (Rhaetian ) Venostes tribes mentioned on the ancient Tropaeum Alpium . A Frankish Gau Charlemagne in 772; it was first mentioned in a 1077 deed, when King Henry IV of Germany granted the estates of Schlanders in pago Finsgowe to Bishop Altwin of Brixen .
Geography
[ edit ] Upper Vinschgau near Mals
The Vinschgau Valley[3] Merano basin at Partschins up the Adige river to Reschen Pass in the northwest. The Ötztal Alps in the north, part of the Alpine crest , separate it from the upper Inn Valley . The Adige valley is further confined by the Sesvenna Alps in the west and the Ortler Alps in the south. It comprises several side valleys, such as the Suldental , the Matscher Tal , or the Schnalstal .
Due to the insular location within the Central Eastern Alps , a rather warm climate and a lack of rain (400mm per year), fields, meadows and apple orchards are irrigated. Viticulture is also common.
According to the 2001 census, 96.51% of the population of the valley speak German, 3.41% Italian and 0.08% Ladin as first language.[4]
Subdivision
[ edit ]
The Vinschgau District (Italian : Comprensorio della Val Venosta ; German : Bezirksgemeinschaft Vinschgau ) was established in 1962. The district covers the largest part of the Vinschgau region and its side valleys, in which 13 municipalities cooperate:
