Admonter Reichenstein
The Admonter Reichenstein is a mountain in the Ennstal Alps and the highest and easternmost peak in the Reichenstein Group. An ascent of the mountain requires climbing ability sufficient to handle UIAA grade II climbs. Topography The Admonter Reichenstein has three summits. From west to east these are: the ''Admonter Horn'' 2,184 m, the Reichenstein main summit and the ''Totenköpfl'' 2,178 m. The Admonter Horn is separated from the main summit by the Reichenstein Saddle (''Reichensteinsattel'', 2,170 m). The Totenköpfl is separated from the main summit by the notch of the ''Reichensteinscharte'' 2,100 m. The mountain is surrounded on all sides by steep rock faces and drops. The Reichenstein is separated from the Sparafeld in the west by the wind gap of the ''Wildscharte'' 1,903 m.

Mountains Of Styria
A mountain is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. Although definitions vary, a mountain may differ from a plateau in having a limited summit area, and is usually higher than a hill, typically rising at least 300 metres (1,000 feet) above the surrounding land. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in mountain ranges. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces, erosion, or volcanism, which act on time scales of up to tens of millions of years. Once mountain building ceases, mountains are slowly leveled through the action of weathering, through slumping and other forms of mass wasting, as well as through erosion by rivers and glaciers. High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level at similar latitude. These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystems of mountains: different elevations have different plants and animals. Because of the less hospitable terrain and ...

Mountains Of The Alps
This page tabulates only the most prominent mountains of the Alps, selected for having a topographic prominence of ''at least'' , and all of them exceeding in height. Although the list contains 537 summits, some significant alpine mountains are necessarily excluded for failing to meet the stringent prominence criterion. The list of these most prominent mountains is continued down to 2500 m elevation at List of prominent mountains of the Alps (2500–2999 m) and down to 2000 m elevation on List of prominent mountains of the Alps (2000–2499 m). All such mountains are located in either France, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany or Slovenia, even in some lower regions. Together, these three lists include all 44 ultra-prominent peaks of the Alps, with 19 ultras over 3000m on this page. For a definitive list of all 82 the highest peaks of the Alps, as identified by the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation (UIAA), and often referred to as the ' ...
