Durreck

The Durreck is the highest mountain in the Durreck Group, a South Tyrolean range that divides the Ahrntal valley in the north from the Reintal valley in the south.
The Durreck lies on the main chain of the mountains that runs from northeast to southwest. This main crest forks only about 100 metres to the southwest at the nearby subpeak of the Zwieselnöckl . One branch runs southwards to the Großer Moosstock and the other northwards, via the Klausnock , Rauchkofel and Pojenspitze near the Obersteiner Holm above Luttach. Northeast of the Durreck at a distance of half a kilometre is a very prominent, but unnamed subpeak at 3,056 metres. Further along the main chain to the northwest is the Gamskarschneide, several peaks just under the 3000-metre mark and finally the Hirbernock . Northwest of the Durreck are the last remnants of glaciation in the Durreck Group, the Klausenkees glacier, that still descended as low as 2,300 metres in 1910. The whole area is part of the Rieserferner-Ahrn Nature Park.
