Circa a met\u00e0 tra il passo delle Platigliole e la cima del monte Scorluzzo si trova lo sperone roccioso a quota 2995, comunemente chiamato Scorluzzino. Questo bastione roccioso si protende come una terrazza verso Nord, con vista diretta sul passo dello Stelvio. Proprio
\ntra queste rocce, senza ricoveri stabili e senza possibilit\u00e0 di rifornimenti in tempi rapidi, i militari del Battaglione Alpini Tirano nei primissimi giorni di guerra, tra il 24 maggio e i primi
\ngiorni di giugno 1915, tentarono di abbozzare una linea difensiva. Tuttavia nei primi giorni del giugno 1915 il capitano della Gendarmeria austriaca Andreas Steiner al comando di un drappello di militari attacc\u00f2 l\u2019avamposto italiano e ne prese possesso. I difensori si
\nritirarono sullo Scorluzzo, da dove furono subito costretti a ritirarsi.
\nGli austriaci da quel momento occuparono con piccoli reparti tutta la dorsale dal passo dello Stelvio allo Scorluzzo e, a Ovest, la cresta rocciosa fin sulla Nagler Spitze. Tale presidio fu progressivamente rinforzato, furono costruite alcune baracche in legno per la truppa e postazioni di tiro per fucili e mitragliatrici; in seguito furono scavate alcune caverne per il ricovero dei militari. In caverna venne posizionato un faro per illuminare il terreno antistante il passo dello Stelvio, cos\u00ec da scongiurare eventuali attacchi notturni italiani provenienti dalla valle del Braulio.
\nIl colonnello Carlo Fetterappa Sandri descrive con queste parole l\u2019attacco austriaco:
\n\u201cOttimamente sostenuto dal breve, ma securo fuoco della batteria del Gold See un distaccamento composto da uomini di Gendarmeria, Guardie di Finanza, Landst\u00fcrmer e Standsch\u00fctzen, per l\u2019Eben Ferner e lo Scorluzzino raggiunse il grande Scorluzzo. In realt\u00e0 sulla cima non era rimasta che una specie di lontana retroguardia, composta di pochi
\nuomini, che ripieg\u00f2 per raggiungere il grosso del pattuglione, sceso da qualche tempo\u201c.
\nVista la quota, ormai prossima ai 3000 metri, le rigide condizioni climatiche e il terreno, ridotto quass\u00f9 a rocce nude e sfasciumi, \u00e8 quasi sorprendente trovare qui delle piante. La vegetazione non riesce pi\u00f9 a formare una distesa continua ma si limita a piccole macchie
\nverdi e ad esemplari isolati. Si tratta di \u201cspecialisti\u201d della vita ad alta quota, come l\u2019Androsace dei ghiacciai, denso cuscinetto di foglioline dai piccoli fiori rosati, o l\u2019Ambretta strisciante dai fiori gialli. Questa, vista la difficolt\u00e0 di produrre semi in queste condizioni limite, genera stoloni rossi che si allontanano dalla pianta madre per colonizzare gli spazi circostanti. O, ancora, ecco il Ranuncolo dei ghiacciai, la pianta alpina che detiene il record di quota. Sulle Alpi bernesi, in Svizzera, \u00e8 stata trovata fino a 4275 metri di altezza.<\/p>\n","modified":"2021-07-06T13:11:27","color":"","icon":"","noDetails":false,"noInteraction":false,"zindex":"","imageGallery":[{"src":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/PNS1034-576x1024.jpg","id":3442,"caption":""},{"src":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/PNS1033-1024x576.jpg","id":3439,"caption":""},{"src":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/PNS1032-1024x575.jpg","id":3436,"caption":""},{"src":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/PNS1031-576x1024.jpg","id":3433,"caption":""}],"image":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/PNS1030-1024x576.jpg","audio":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PNS_IT01_0103.mp3","taxonomy":{"webmapp_category":[11]},"accessibility":{"mobility":{"check":false,"description":"","level":"accessible_independently"},"hearing":{"check":false,"description":"","level":"accessible_independently"},"vision":{"check":false,"description":"","level":"accessible_independently"},"cognitive":{"check":false,"description":"","level":"accessible_independently"},"food":{"check":false,"description":""}},"reachability":{"by_bike":{"check":false,"description":""},"on_foot":{"check":false,"description":""},"by_car":{"check":false,"description":""},"by_public_transportation":{"check":false,"description":""}},"locale":"it","source":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poi\/2558","wp_edit":"http:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=2558&action=edit","translations":{"en":{"id":3300,"name":"PNS0103 Scorluzzino","web":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/\/pns0103-scorluzzino\/?lang=en","source":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poi\/3300","description":"
Approximately halfway between Passo delle Platigliole and the peak of Mount Scorluzzo there is a rocky spur at 2995 metres, commonly called Scorluzzino. This rocky bastion juts out northwards like a terrace with a direct view over Passo dello Stelvio. It was in these very rocks, without stable shelters or the chance for rapid supplies that the soldiers of Tirano Alpini Battalion attempted to establish an approximate defensive line in the first days of the war, from 24th May to early June 1915. However, in the first days of June 1915 the captain of the Austrian gendarmes, Andreas Steiner, commanding a squad of soldiers, attacked the Italian frontline and occupied it. The defenders withdrew to Mount Scorluzzo from which they were immediately obliged to withdraw. From that moment on the Austrians occupied the whole ridge from Passo dello Stelvio to Mount Scorluzzo with small divisions and, to the west, the rocky ridge as far as Nagler Spitze. This guard was progressively reinforced with a number of wooden barracks for the troops and firing positions for rifles and machine guns. Later on, certain caves were carved out as soldiers\u2019 shelters. A spotlight was placed in the cave to light up the area around Passo dello Stelvio and thus head off potential night time attacks from Valle del Braulio.
\nColonel Carlo Fetterappa Sandri described the Austrian attack in these words:
\n\u201cOptimally supported by short range but certain fire from the Gold See battery, on 7th June a detachment made up of soldiers from the Gendarmeria, Guardie di Finanza, Landst\u00fcrmer and Standsch\u00fctzen reached the great Mount Scorluzzo via Eben Ferner and Scorluzzino. In actual fact, all that remained on the peak was a sort of distant back line guard made up of just a few men who withdrew to join the bulk of the large platoon which had descended some time earlier\u201d.
\nGiven the altitude of nearly 3000 metres, the severe weather conditions and terrain reduced to bare rock and debris, it is somehow surprising to find plants here. The vegetation no longer manages to fill up whole areas but is limited to small isolated green patches. These are the high altitude \u2018specialists\u2019 such as Alpine rock jasmine – dense cushions of little leaves with small pink flowers – or yellow flowering Geum reptans. Given the difficulty of producing seeds in these extreme conditions, it produces red stolons which stretch out from the mother plant to colonise the space around it. And there is also the Glacier Crowfoot, the Alpine plant with the altitude record. On the Bernese Alps in Switzerland it has been found at altitudes of 4275 metres.<\/p>\n","audio":"https:\/\/a.webmapp.it\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/media\/audios\/2558_en.mp3"},"de":{"id":2787,"name":"PNS0103 Scorluzzino","web":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/\/pns0103-scorluzzino\/?lang=de","source":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poi\/2787","description":"
Mehr oder weniger auf halber Strecke zwischen dem Platigliolepass und dem Gipfel des Monte Scorluzzo liegt auf 2.995 Meter dieser Felsvorsprung, der allgemein als Kleiner Scorluzzo oder Scorluzzino bekannt ist. Diese Felsbastion erstreckt sich wie eine Terrasse nach Norden hin und gibt den Blick auf das Stilfser Joch frei. Zwischen diesen Felsen, ohne feste Unterst\u00e4nde und ohne die M\u00f6glichkeit eines schnellen Nachschubs, versuchten die Soldaten des Alpini-Regiments Tirano in den allerersten Kriegstagen zwischen dem 24. Mai und den ersten Junitagen 1915, eine Verteidigungslinie zu errichten. Anfang Juni 1915 griff jedoch der Hauptmann der \u00f6sterreichischen Gendarmerie, Andreas Steiner, mit seinem Trupp den italienischen Vorposten an und eroberte ihn. Die Verteidiger zogen sich auf den Monte Scorluzzo zur\u00fcck aber auch dieser musste sehr rasch aufgeben werden. Von diesem Moment an hielten die \u00d6sterreicher mit kleinen Abteilungen den gesamten Gebirgskamm vom Stilfser Joch bis zum Monte Scorluzzo und im Westen den Felsgrat bis zur Naglerspitze besetzt. Diese Besatzung wurde nach und nach verst\u00e4rkt, und es wurden auch einige Holzbaracken f\u00fcr die Truppe gebaut und Stellungen f\u00fcr Sch\u00fctzen sowie Maschinengewehre; sp\u00e4ter wurden f\u00fcr die Unterbringung der Soldaten einige Kavernen gegraben. An der Kaverne wurde ein Scheinwerfer angebracht, um das Gel\u00e4nde vor dem Stilfser Joch zu beleuchten und so eventuelle n\u00e4chtliche Angriffe der Italiener vom Braulio-Tal her zu unterbinden.
\nOberst Carlo Fetterappa Sandri beschreibt den \u00f6sterreichischen Angriff mit folgenden Worten:
\n\u201cVon der Batterie Goldsee durch kurzes aber treffsicheres Feuer pr\u00e4chtig unterst\u00fctzt, erreichte am 7. Juni eine Abteilung bestehend aus M\u00e4nnern der Gendarmerie, der Finanzwache sowie aus Landst\u00fcrmern und Standsch\u00fctzen \u00fcber den Ebenferner und den Scorluzzino den Monte Scorluzzo. In Wirklichkeit war auf dem Gipfel nur eine Art entfernte Nachhut mit wenigen M\u00e4nnern verblieben, die zur\u00fcckwich um sich der Hauptpatrouille, die schon seit geraumer Zeit ins Tal hinuntergezogen war, anzuschlie\u00dfen.\u201c
\nIn Anbetracht der H\u00f6henlage von fast 3.000 Metern, der strengen klimatischen Bedingungen und des Gel\u00e4ndes, das auf dieser H\u00f6he aus nackten Felsen und Ger\u00f6ll besteht, ist es wirklich erstaunlich, hier Pflanzen anzutreffen. Die Vegetation bildet keine zusammenh\u00e4ngenden Fl\u00e4chen sondern besteht nur aus kleinen gr\u00fcnen Flecken und isolierten Exemplaren. Bei diesen Pflanzen handelt es sich um echte \u00dcberlebensk\u00fcnstler, wie zum Beispiel das Alpen-Mannsschild, ein dichtes Kissen aus kleinen Bl\u00e4ttern und rosaroten Bl\u00fcmchen, oder der Kriech-Nelkenwurz mit seinen gelben Bl\u00fcten. Dieser letzte bildet, in Anbetracht der Schwierigkeiten, unter diesen extremen Bedingungen Samen zu produzieren, rote Ausl\u00e4ufer, die sich von der Mutterpflanze entfernen, um die umliegenden Fl\u00e4chen zu kolonisieren. Nicht zu vergessen der Gletscher-Hahnenfu\u00df, eine Alpenblume, die den absoluten H\u00f6henrekord h\u00e4lt: In den Berner Alpen, in der Schweiz, wurde sie sogar auf 4.275 Metern aufgefunden.<\/p>\n","audio":"https:\/\/a.webmapp.it\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/media\/audios\/2558_de.mp3"}},"web":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/poi\/pns0103-scorluzzino\/","addr:street":"","addr:housenumber":"","addr:postcode":"","addr:city":"","contact:phone":"","contact:email":"","opening_hours":"","capacity":"","ele":2987},"geometry":{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.4447773490787,46.5220356707898]}}
