The Friesling is a 1340 m high mountain in the Ybbstal Alps in the federal state of Lower Austria .
The mountain to the northeast of St. Georgen am Reith is largely forested on its flanks and has an undulating karst plateau about 1000 by 600 meters in size , which is partly free of trees. Geologically, the Friesling is built up mainly from Noric main dolomite on its flanks , which merges into Rhaetian plate limestone towards the summit . At the south-western foot of the mountain near St. Georgen am Reith is the Reithbach spring , a karst spring where up to 15,421 liters of water per second was measured. The 4,024 meter long Friesling tunnel of the Opponitz power station runs under the Friesling .
The mountain can be reached from the saddle of the Großer Kripp , which separates the Friesling from the Oisberg , in about an hour and a half on foot via steep trails or partly via forest roads.
