The Gradental is a right side valley of the Mölltal in the Schober group in Carinthia . It belongs to the community of Großkirchheim . It is traversed by the Gradenbach , which rises from the Gradenkees at 2500 m and flows through the Gradensee at the head of the valley . The catchment area of ​​the Gradenbach is 32 km².

The name is related to Slavic grad (castle, enclosure) and could refer to the seclusion of the valley, which is bordered by over 20 three-thousand-meter peaks . It is a typical trough valley with several terrain levels.

The valley branches off from the Mölltal at Putschall. At the exit of the valley there is a two km² large valley thrust which repeatedly caused flooding events. There is a six km long nature trail in the valley. The Gradenmoos , a 2.5 hectare meander bog , is located at the tree line at approx. 1900 m . The degree moss has a predominantly siliceous (acidic) plants society, there also come Kalkzeiger before. Peat formation only occurs in the core area. In 2488 m is located on the Gradensee Adolf Noßberger Hut , a mountain hut of PES -Sektion Alpine Club Edelweiss . The Gradensee is cultivated with char, brook char, Canada char and char hybrids. Its color is described as turquoise green.
