Mountains and the Serles mountain (2,718 m) contain younger 
Mesozoic limestone; the Blaser mountain (2,241 m) and the 
Kesselspitze mountain (2,728 m) contain remains of the Northern 
Limestone Alps that originally covered them. Mountain refuges: Bremer 
Huette (alt. 2,411 m), Winnebachseehuette (alt. 2,361 m), 
Pforzheimer Huette (Witzenmannhaus, alt. 2,310 m), Dresdner 
Huette (alt. 2,308 m), Nuernberger Huette (alt. 2,278 m).
