Gutenstein Alps, Mountain range in Lower Austria, Austria

The Gutenstein Alps extend across northeastern Lower Austria with their highest peak, Reisalpe, reaching an elevation of 1,399 meters above sea level.

These limestone mountains formed during the Triassic period contain numerous caves, including the Einhornhöhle near Dreistetten and Eisensteinhöhle near Brunn.

The mountains supply water to Vienna through the First Vienna Mountain Spring Pipeline, which has sustained the capital since the 19th century.

Networks of marked hiking trails connect mountain huts across the range, with parking areas available at trailheads in Pernitz and Gutenstein.

The Myrafälle waterfalls and Steinwandklamm gorge present geological formations where water has carved paths through the limestone rock over millennia.
