The Gstoder ( 2140  m above sea level ) is the highest mountain in the Murberg Mountains , a mountain range in the Central Alps . The border between Salzburg's Lungau and Styria runs across the summit , just to the south, on the Dörfler Alm, is the easternmost point of Salzburg.

The Gstoder rises in the area of ​​the Styrian communities Ranten and St. Georgen am Kreischberg as well as in the area of ​​the Salzburg community Tamsweg . Due to its location at the eastern end of the Lungau, the mountain is also given the nickname "Grenzwächter". To the south of the striking, pyramidal summit made of mica schist , there is the Dörfler Alm ( Dörfler Höhe , 1987  m ) and the Payeralm ( Payerhöhe , 1966  m ), a larger plateau above the tree line.

The Gstoder is only connected to the higher Schladminger Tauern by the flat valley watershed of the Murparallel Valley near Schwarzenbichl ( 1234  m ) and offers a wide panoramic view due to its isolated location. For tourism, it is accessible through several hiking trails and the Gstoder toll road to the Jogaushütte ( 1755  m ) in the south .
