The Ostrawitz is built of Dachstein limestone and stands as a pre-summit of the 2,446 m Spitzmauer, 1.7 km from it, between the Polsterlucke and the Dietlhölle in the Stodertal. A small wooden summit cross has stood on the peak since late autumn 2011. The mountain lies in the Traunviertel region of Upper Austria.
The summit carries a small wooden cross put up in late autumn 2011, a marker hikers see on arrival. The route above the Löckenkogel saddle is only occasionally marked with stone cairns, so walkers often add stones to them. The Ostrawitz lies between the Polsterlucke and the Dietlhölle above the Stodertal.
Access requires hiking from Polsterlucke parking area through unmarked trails over steep scree and dwarf pine terrain, taking approximately four hours with proper alpine equipment and dry weather conditions.
A small wooden summit cross installed in late 2011 marks the peak, while the mountain remains one of the few uncommercialised summits in the area offering solitude for experienced climbers.
