Geological information provided by National Park Gesaeuse:

The Enns valley Alps are part of the northern High Limestone Alps that constitute one of the most impressive mountainous landscapes in Austria. In the west they are linked to the Warscheneck at the Haller Walls (Gt. Pyhrgas, 2,244 m). In the east they are subdivided into the massifs of the Gesaeuse mountains (Gt. Buchstein 2,224 m, Hochtor 2,369 m) and are separated from the Hochschwab group and the Eisenerz Alps by the Enns and the Erzbach. The Eisenerz Alps in the south are already part of the slate Alps (greywacke zone).
