La Fata delle Dolomiti
Moena is also called "The Fairy of Dolomites"… thanks to the surrounding summits, which take on a rosy hue at sunset. Many stories and legends originated in this natural phenomenon of light refraction, in particular the legend of Laurino, the king of the Rosengarten Kingdom, and his daughter Moena. One day she felt in love with the knight of Latemar and she decided to elope. The old father was inconsolable. His anger transformed the garden of roses into a mountain of rock – the Catinaccio – and for his will, nobody would have had never again the possibility to see his roses neither during the day nor during the night. He forgot the sunset and so, only in that moment the enchanting colour of the Rosengarten can be admired.
