Tennengebirge, Mountain range in Salzburg Region, Austria

The Tennen Mountains span 60 square kilometers of limestone terrain, reaching heights of 2,430 meters at the Raucheck summit in the Northern Limestone Alps.

The mountain range received protection status in 1982 when 37 square kilometers above 2,000 meters were designated as a nature reserve for geological preservation.

The regional speleological association of Salzburg conducts research expeditions throughout the mountain range to study its extensive network of caves and water systems.

Multiple mountain refuges, including Anton Proksch House at 1,590 meters and Dr. Heinrich Hackel Hut at 1,530 meters, provide accommodation for mountaineers.

The Eisriesenwelt cave system extends for 42 kilometers through the mountains, making it the longest ice cave system documented in the world.
