Ötscher, Alpine summit in Mitterbach am Erlaufsee, Austria
The Ötscher mountain rises to 1893 meters above sea level, forming a dominant peak in Lower Austria's largest national park.
The mountain paths and surrounding valleys have served as essential trade routes between northern and southern Austria since medieval times.
Local shepherds maintain age-old traditions of alpine farming on the mountain slopes during summer months, contributing to regional dairy production.
Visitors can reach the summit through multiple marked hiking trails, with the main access point located at the Ötscher-Basis information center.
The mountain contains numerous underground water systems that feed into the Ötschergräben canyon, creating a network of waterfalls.
