Piz Lunghin (2,780 m) is a mountain in the Swiss canton of Graubünden, located in the Albula range, overlooking the Maloja Pass. It can be considered as the "roof of Europe" as the water running off the mountain can head towards the Atlantic, Mediterranean or Black Sea. ==Geography and hydrography== Piz Lunghin lies at the upper end of the Engadine (east) and the Bregaglia (west) valleys. The Maloja Pass, which connects the two valleys, is located 2 km south-east from the peak. The north side of the mountain lies in the protected area Parc Ela. The notable triple watershed is in fact located 600 metres from the summit itself, at the Lunghin Pass, at 2645 m ().〔In fact the triple watershed is located north of the pass itself but has almost no prominence like most other triple watersheds which are located on mountain summits. The area west of the pass is almost flat but is divided between the Rhine and Po basins.〕 The north-west side gives birth to a river ending in the Gelgia, a tributary of the Albula, itself a tributary of the Rhine. From the south-west side the water flows towards the Mera in ''Val Bregaglia'', a tributary of the Po. Finally the Inn originates from Lägh dal Lunghin below the peak, east to the pass. The Inn is a tributary of the Danube. * The Rhine enters the North Sea 740 km north. * The Po enters the Adriatic Sea 275 km south-east. * The Danube enters the Black Sea 1560 km east. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Piz Lunghin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
