Markinkele, Mountain summit on Italy-Austria border, South Tyrol, Italy.

The Cornetto di Confine rises to 2,545 meters in the Villgraten Mountains, featuring steep rocky slopes and multiple hiking trails leading to its peak.

During World War I, the Italian Army constructed a military road to the summit, which remains accessible and serves as a primary route for modern visitors.

The mountain's dual names, Cornetto di Confine in Italian and Markinkele in German, reflect the bilingual heritage of the South Tyrol region.

Visitors can start their ascent from the Silvestertal parking area at 1,550 meters, reducing the elevation gain to approximately 1,000 meters.

The abandoned military shelters from the 1960s stand at the summit, offering evidence of the mountain's strategic importance for border defense operations.
