This species is endemic to Austria. It lives on certain mountain tops in the Eastern Alps, in limestone habitats, e.g. the Dürrnstein, Ötscher and Gesäuse Mountains. It often lives crowded, in moss, in rock crevices.
The lifespan of Cylindrus obtusus is probably several years.[3]
The dispersal rate of Cylindrus obtusus is about 3 cm per day.[3]
