The Nock Mountains〔Lichtenberger, Elisabeth (2000). ''Austria'', Austrian Academy of Science Press, pp. 138, 152 and 490. ISBN 978-3-7001-2775-8.〕〔Borntraeger, Gebrüder (1987). ''Monograph Series on Mineral Deposits, Issues 27-28'', p. 220.〕〔Bedeker, K. (1970). ''Austria'', Baedekers Autoführer-Verlag, p 140.〕 ((ドイツ語:Nockberge) or ''Nockgebirge'') are the westernmost and highest mountain range of the Gurktal Alps in Austria, spread over parts of the federal states of Carinthia, Salzburg and Styria. Their appearance is characterised by numerous dome-like and grass-covered summits (''Nocken''). Their highest peak is Mt. Eisenhut in Styria which reaches an elevation of AA. In July 2012 the Nock Mountains and the adjacent Lungau region were designated a biosphere reserve by UNESCO. ==Geography== As westernmost part of the Gurktal Alps, the Nock Mountains are separated from the Low Tauern in the north, stretching as far as the Katschberg Pass () in the west, by the Mur River. In the west, the rivers Lieser and Drau separate the Nock Mountains from the Ankogel Group of the High Tauern and from the Gailtal Alps. South of Lake Ossiach they are adjoined by the lower Sattnitz range and the Klagenfurt Basin, another part of the Gurktal Alps. To the east, within the Gurktal Alps they are bounded by a line from Gurk via Flattnitz Pass () to the Paalbach stream. The Nock Mountains may be divided into eight subgroups. South of Bad Kleinkirchheim are the stocks of the Mirnock massif () with a significant topographic prominence of 1,343 m, the Wöllaner Nock () and the Gerlitzen () high above Lake Ossiach. The central region of the Nock Mountains is formed by the Millstätter Alpe () and the Rosennock (), the highest summit in Carinthia. In the north are the stocks of the Schwarzwand (), the Königstuhl () in Salzburg, which is also a tripoint, and the Eisenhut (). The range has also been referred to in German language tourist brochures as the "Nocky Mountains", an allusion to the Rocky Mountains.〔For example: (www.merian.de ), (www.nockalmstrasse.at ), (www.speick.de ), (www.bz-berlin.de ), (www.wienerzeitung.at )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nock Mountains」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
