The Rocca dei Baranci, south of San Candido, is the highest mountain of the Gruppo Rondoi-Baranci mountain group. The chain also includes the Ostgipfel (literally Eastern Peak, 2,907 m a.s.l.), the Westgipfel (literally Western Peak, 2,933 m a.s.l.) and the Südgipfel (literally Southern Peak, 2,860 m a.s.l.). The Mt Rocca dei Baranci (Haunold in German) was first ascended in 1878.

The itinerary to the summit starts at the Dreischusterhütte (rifugio Tre Scarperi) hut on the southern side of the mountain and leads to the summit via the Val di Landro and the Valle Campo di Dentro in a 4.5-hour walk with easy climbing sections. On the northern wall of the Rocca dei Baranci lies a
skiing area featuring easy and intermediate pistes.

The mountain is also famous for the legend of the giant Haunold. It is said that his father was killed by the Huns, which is why Haunold's fostress hid the child in the Villgratental valley. As the Huns returned and attacked the village again, the locals asked the giant Haunold for help. He defeated the leader of the Huns and hung up one of his ribs above the entrance portal of the church of San Candido. According to scientists, however, the bone is from a Prehistoric animal. After the battle, the giant Haunold fell asleep in the eponymous mountain.
