The dirndls are two mountain peaks on the southern edge of the Dachstein plateau in the Dachstein mountains . The eastern dirndl (also: lower dirndl ) is 2818 meters high, the western (also: high dirndl ) is 2832 meters high. While the eastern tip is in the Austrian state of Upper Austria , the western summit on the Dachstein ridge forms the border with southern Styria . The western dirndl was first climbed for tourism on August 5, 1879 by alpinists Wratislaw Fikeis and Franz Krischker from Wiener Naturfreunde . Eugen Guido Lammer single- handedly climbed the eastern dirndl on September 12, 1884 .
Location and surroundings
The dirndls are part of the east-west running south edge of the Dachstein plateau, which forms the border between the Austrian federal states of Upper Austria in the north and Styria in the south. They are located at the southwest end of the Hallstatt Glacier and form two tower-like peaks that form a rock ridge running to the northeast. Its huge south face drops into the Kar Hundsriese at around 500 meters . Neighboring mountains are in the southeast the Hunerkogel with an altitude of 2687 meters and in the northwest, along the pronounced east ridge, the Hohe Dachstein with an altitude of 2995 meters. The Hallstatt Glacier stretches to the north.
Tourist development
The path of the first to climb to the higher dirndl led the Wiener Naturfreunde on August 5, 1879 over the north face to the summit. As a result, many mountaineers visited the area. So in 1885 Ludwig Purtscheller , who reached the summit from the east. Eugen Guido Lammer reached the eastern dirndl in an arduous way in fresh snow and fog over the north face. Today's starting point for mountain tours is the Seethalerhütte located to the northwest at an altitude of 2740 meters. The normal route to the higher western summit with a cross leads through the north-western flank in difficulty UIAA II + . But there are also routes through the walls up to III. UIAA grade, whereby the south edge with its difficulty UIAA V is counted among the so-called classic mountain drives in the Dachstein area. The eastern dirndl also has challenging climbing routes up to difficulty level UIAA V A2 .
