The Koppe lies above Katsch an der Mur and the Hinterburggraben . It forms the western ridge of the Pleschaitz, between Leonhartsbach in the south and Totenbach in the north. The hill is inconspicuous and mostly wooded (Hinterkatschwald) .
On the slope of the Koppe are the scattered giant houses , at the foot of the Katsch ruins .
