The Totes Gebirge is a group of mountains in Austria, part of the Northern Limestone Alps, lying between the Salzkammergut and the Ennstaler Alpen. The name "Totes Gebirge" is derived from the German words "tot" meaning "dead", referring to the apparent lack of vegetation, and "Gebirge" meaning "mountain range". The area is a large karstic plateau with steep sides, and several mountain peaks above 2000 m. The highest point is the summit of Großer Priel, at 2515 m.
