Nockstein, Mountain summit in Salzkammergut range, Austria.

The Nockstein mountain reaches an elevation of 1,042 meters, featuring a steep rock face on its northern side near the Gaisberg region.

The mountain cross at the summit stands on a concrete base, marking the highest point that has guided travelers through the Salzkammergut region for generations.

Local hikers regularly gather at Gasthof Riedlwirt before ascending the mountain, following traditional Alpine hiking customs through marked forest paths.

The hiking trail spans 4 kilometers with a 250-meter elevation gain, requiring approximately 2 hours to complete from the designated parking area.

The north face presents challenging limestone formations, while the southern approach offers gentler slopes through dense Austrian pine forests.
