The Gßeck is at 2214 m above sea level. A. the highest peak in the Eisenerzer Alps . It is in front of the approximately 30 km long main ridge (with Eisenerzer Reichenstein 2165 m ) in the south and forms with its secondary peaks the mountain range of the Reiting .
The majority of the Eisenerzer Alps is geologically assigned to the Grauwackenzone , although as part of the Ennstal Alps they belong to the Northern Limestone Alps . The zone of the old Grauwacken rocks reaches its greatest width here, between the mining towns of Eisenerz and Leoben , at 10–15 km.
On the north side of the Gößeck just below the summit there is a memorial stone to the helicopter crash on April 15, 1986.
