Sextenstein, Mountain summit in South Tyrol, Italy.

The Sextenstein mountain reaches an elevation of 2,539 meters and forms part of the Dolomites range in northern Italy's South Tyrol region.

The mountain area witnessed intense military activities during World War I, when Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces established strategic positions along its slopes.

The mountain carries two names, Sextenstein in German and Sasso di Sesto in Italian, reflecting the bilingual heritage of the South Tyrol region.

Multiple marked hiking trails lead to the summit, allowing visitors to access the mountain through the neighboring villages during summer months.

The mountain stands within the Dolomiti di Sesto Nature Park, where German remains the primary language of 92 percent of local inhabitants.
