Hohe Wand, Mountain ridge in Lower Austria, Austria.
The limestone mountain extends for 8 kilometers, featuring steep rock faces on its southern and southeastern sides, reaching an elevation of 1,132 meters.
The toll road providing access to Hohe Wand was constructed between 1931 and 1932, connecting the communities of Stollhof and Maiersdorf.
The mountain houses 225 caves, including the Unicorn Cave near Dreistetten, which remains open to visitors as an educational geological site.
Multiple hiking paths lead to the summit from Dürnbach valley, Grünbach, and Miesenbach, while over 700 climbing routes accommodate different skill levels.
Three designated take-off points serve paragliders and hang gliders who regularly launch from the mountain to utilize the favorable wind conditions.
