Due to its characteristic shape, the 2563m high Schlern is considered the landmark of South Tyrol.
It is also the eponym of the Sciliar mountain group. The Schlern towers above the Seis am Schlern, the largest high pasture in Europe, as well as Kastelruth and Völs am Schlern. The highest point of the Schlern is the Petz with 2563m. In 1974 the Schlern was placed under protection in a nature park and in 2003 it was extended to the Schlern-Rosengarten nature park. In South Tyrol's world of legends the Schlern is considered the home of the Schlern witches.
