The rocks are one of the dominant elements in Gesäuse. On the mighty base of Ramsau dolomite is having a height of up to 800m Dachstein limestone. The dolomite weathers easily. The jagged rocks with the rubble at the foot of the mountains form the base of the mountains in the National Park Gesäuse. The light grey weathered Dachstein limestone however much slower. Through the strength of the Dachstein limestone and his rough surface it is ideal for climbing. The rocks in the National Park Gesäuse are also a favourite habitat of such birds: Eagle, Peregrine Falcon, Owl and Raven. Under the tree line nesting: Grouse, Alpine Accentor and Snow Finch.

For the protection of nature you should not leave the paths and climbing routes and open up any new routes.
