Durreck

The Durreck Group in South Tyrol is an independent mountain range within the Venediger Group. To the north and west it is bounded by the Tauferer Ahrntal, behind which the peaks of the Zillertal Alps stand. To the south it is separated by the valley of Reintal from the Rieserferner Group. The Ochsenlenke (2,623 m) forms the eastern end of the Durreck Group where the rocky ridge drops to almost 2,600 m and completely disappears under the rolling depositional landscape. From the Schneespitze (2,925 m) the first peaks and glaciers of the rest of the Venediger Group appear and link to the main chain of the High Tauern, whose orographically western foothills are therefore the Durreck Group. The Alpine Club classification of the Eastern Alps also counts the range as part of the Venediger Group. The Durreck Group lies entirely within the Rieserferner-Ahrn Nature Park.

The Rieserferner-Ahrn Nature Park (German: Naturpark Rieserferner-Ahrn) is a nature reserve in South Tyrol, Italy. The name Rieserferner comes from the eternal ice area called Rieserferner at the Schneebiger Nock glacier. The Rieserferner-Ahrntal is characterized by high mountains with rugged peaks and eternal ice marginal habitat and tightrope walk for animals and plants but also for humans. Mountain lakes and waterfalls, rocks such as the Zentralgneis the Tauern window and the Rieserfernertonalit, animals such as golden eagles and peregrine falcons, plants such as dwarf willow and the sticky primrose are among the features of the park.

The Reinbach is a stream in South Tyrol, Italy, known as the Rio di Riva in Italian. It flows into the Ahr in Sand in Taufers. It has three waterfalls, two 50 metres (160 ft) high, and one 10 metres (33 ft) high, all located in the Rieserferner-Ahrn Nature Park. The river is also a popular kayaking spot.

The Schneebiger Nock (Italian: Monte Nevoso), in old literature also called the Ruthnerhorn, is 3,358 metres high and, after the Hochgall, the second highest mountain of the Rieserferner Group, a range in the western part of the High Tauern. The mountain rises in the Italian province of South Tyrol in the Rieserferner-Ahrn Nature Park (Parco Naturale Vedrette di Ries-Aurina). It was first climbed on 6 October 1866 by Archduke Rainer Ferdinand of Austria, Count Heinrich Wurmbrand, and mountain guides, Georg Auer, Johann Oberarzbacher from Rein in Taufers and Georg Weiss, an innkeeper from St. Johann im Reintal. Today the Schneebige Nock may be reached from the Kasseler Hut (also Hochgall Hut) to the northeast or from the Rieserferner Hut to the south. Thanks to its prominent pyramidal shape and its distinct arêtes it is a frequently visited viewing summit.

Sand in Taufers (German pronunciation: [sant ʔɪn ˈtaʊfɐs]; Italian: Campo Tures [ˈkampo ˈtuːres]) is a comune mercato (market town) in South Tyrol in northern Italy.

The Tauferer Ahrntal denotes the valley of the Ahr (Italian: Aurino) River, a tributary valley of the Puster Valley in South Tyrol, Italy. It is commonly divided into the Tauferer Tal (Val di Tures), stretching from the confluence with the Rienz River near Bruneck up to Sand in Taufers, and the Ahrntal (Valle Aurina) proper up to the source in Prettau.

The Schwarze Wand is a mountain of the Rieserferner group in South Tyrol, Italy.

Luttach (Italian: Lutago) is a mountain village in northern Italy. It is a frazione of the comune of Ahrntal in South Tyrol.

The Wildgall (Italian: Collaspro) is, at 3,273 metres above sea level, the third highest peak in the Rieserferner Group, a range in the western part of the High Tauern. It lies within the Italian provinces of South Tyrol in the Rieserferner-Ahrn Nature Park (Parco Naturale Vedrette di Ries-Aurina) and appears from the south as a massive pyramid with prominent arêtes. It is the most difficult of the summits of the Rieserferner Group to climb. As a result, it was conquered relatively late. Its first recorded ascent was on 18 August 1872 by Victor Hecht from Prague and mountain guides Johann and Sepp Ausserhofer from Rein in Taufers. Today the mountain may be climbed from the Kasseler Hut (Italian: Rifugio Roma alla Vedrette di Ries) to the north in about four hours, but it is rarely attempted.
