Brenner Pass
Brenner Pass ( (:ˈbʁɛnɐpas); (イタリア語:Passo del Brennero) (:ˈpasso del ˈbrɛnnero)) is a mountain pass through the Alps along the border between Italy and Austria. It is one of the principal passes of the range and the lowest of the Alpine passes within the area. As a result, it has been coveted throughout history.
Dairy cattle graze in alpine pastures throughout the summer in valleys beneath the pass and mountains above it. In the lower altitudes, farmers log pine trees, plant crops, and harvest hay for winter fodder. Many of the high pastures are at an altitude of over 1,000 metres; a small number of them stands high in the mountains at around 2,000 metres.
The central section covers the motorway and railway tracks connecting Vipiteno/Sterzing in the south and Innsbruck to the north. The village of Brenner at the pass consists of a few supermarkets, fruit stores, outlet shopping centres, cafes, hotels and a gas station. It has a population of 400 to 600 (as of 2011).
== Etymology ==
''Prenner'' was originally the name of a nearby farm which derived from its former owner. The farm of a certain ''Prennerius'' is mentioned in documents in 1288, a certain ''Chunradus Prenner de Mittenwalde'' is mentioned in 1299. The name ''Prenner'' is traced back to the German word for somebody who clears woodland. A name for the pass itself appears for the first time in 1328 as ''ob dem Prenner'' (German for ''above the Prenner'').〔Egon Kühebacher (1991), ''Die Ortsnamen Südtirols und ihre Geschichte'', Bozen: Athesia, p. 59〕
