Dürre Wand

The Dürre Wand (literally barren wall) is a mountain ridge in Lower Austria and belongs topographically to the Gutenstein Alps.

The Dürre Wand is a ridge, rocky in places, which is bordered by pastures, forests and waterfalls.

In contrast to Hohe Wand plateau in the immediate east, it culminates in a narrow ridge-line with its hiking trail offering outstanding views.

On Plattenstein sits the Gauermann Hut owned and run by the Austrian Tourist Club (Österreichischer Touristenklub) or ÖTK.

In all, exactly one hundred caves are recorded in the register for Region 1862 - Dürre Wand.
