Griesmauer, Mountain summit in Hochschwab range, Austria.

The Griesmauerkogel peak rises to 2,034 meters in elevation, featuring steep limestone cliffs and extensive alpine meadows across its slopes.

The mountain served as a crucial navigation point for local shepherds since the 16th century, guiding them through the Northern Styrian Alps.

Local mountain clubs organize annual summer solstice celebrations at the summit, continuing centuries-old Alpine traditions.

Multiple marked trails lead to the summit from Gsollhütte mountain hut, with the western route providing the most gradual ascent for hikers.

The summit contains a geological formation of exposed limestone layers that reveal 200 million years of Alpine mountain development.
