Austrian Field cap

Would anyone be able to provide me with some information on this cap? I'm in unfamiliar territory and I hope I posted this in the correct section. The buttons looks silver but they are gold. Grateful for any assistance that can be provided. Thank you.

I used to see similar caps at the army surplus stores as a kid but never as minty or with the Edelweiss. I kick myself for motorcycle getting one because I would love to use one as a work cap..

Wonderful cap austromunga, indeed looks to be a cammo Bundesheer Gebirgsjager mutze !
Today the traditions of the Austrian mountain infantry (Gebirgsjager) are maintained by the 6th Jagerbrigade in Innsbruck, subdivided in three battalions (Jagerbataillon 23, Jagerbataillon 24 and Jagerbataillon 26).
Prost ! Steve.
