Dürrenstein, Mountain summit in Lower Austria, Austria.
The Dürrenstein peak reaches an elevation of 1,878 meters and features extensive limestone formations within the northern limestone Alps range.
The territorial ownership of Dürrenstein was disputed between Carthusian monks of Gaming and Benedictine brothers of Admont Abbey for several centuries.
The Dürrenstein-Lassingtal Wilderness Area received UNESCO World Heritage status in 2017 for preserving Austria's largest primeval beech forest.
Multiple marked hiking trails lead to the summit, with the Ybbstalerhütte mountain refuge providing food and shelter for mountaineers during their ascent.
The nearby Grünloch sinkhole holds the record for Austria's lowest temperature, measuring minus 52.6 degrees Celsius in this natural depression.
