the 9 states of austria produce only 5 internal
tristate points
of which styria figures in all but 1

reference map

& using this fairly decent zoomable
http://www.geoland.at/viewer/(johdxi45fsu0oofx0tpkgrv5)/viewer.aspx
some headway can be made & fun had on all 5 of these
targets

first the odd lady out
kasztr
or at2kasztr in full dress
aka karinthia salzburg tyrol
is evidently eiskoegele summit
http://www.riesner.at/Touren/Skitouren/Eiskoegele/eiskoegele.html
with photo here possibly centered class a

& then
proceeding to styria
& as if in order
kastsz
aka karinthia salzburg styria
is evidently koenigstuhl summit
http://esci.unco.edu/faculty/morrow/AAA%20Course/AAA_Konigstuhl.htm
possibly already class d here

thence oostsz
aka salzburg styria upper austria
is evidently torstein summit
http://flickr.com/photos/alaskana/57191937/
also possibly already class d

& already in the home stretch is nooost
aka lower & upper austria with styria
evidently essling summit
but the closest i can find is tanzboden
the next peak
a mere 400 meters to the southeast
http://www.tiscover.at/at/guide/32336sy,de,SCH1/objectId,RGN129588at,curr,EUR,ffs,15,season,at1,selectedEntry,pict/pict.html
from which the present view stands at least a chance
of also being class d

& finally bunost
aka burgenland & lower austria with styria
which is evidently at a much lower elevation & a much
less remote yet curiously more elusive locality
named goetzendorf
& easily confused with a bigger & different
goetzendorf near vienna
but for which i can at least claim to be in the right
general neighborhood here
http://www.landschaftsfotos.at/Radtour%202005_08_08/Bicycle%20tour%202005_08_08.htm
since i recognize the names of several nearby
localities as well

so
you stand at least an outside chance of having already
glimpsed all 5

& that may be all anyone ever says or tries of at2
