The Northern Limestone Alps are the ranges of the Eastern Alps north of the Central Eastern Alps. The distinction from the latter group, where the higher peaks are located, is based on differences in geological composition. The Northern Limestone Alps extend from the Bregenzerwald in Vorarlberg in the west to the Wienerwald in Lower Austria and Vienna in the east. The highest peaks in the Northern Limestone Alps are Parseierspitze (3,036 metres) in the Lechtal Alps, and Dachstein (2,996 m). Ranges of the Northern Limestone Alps (from East to West):
