The Leiter or the Leiterbach is a right backwater of the Möll . It arises as a glacier stream from the Leiterkees and flows into the Möll just below the Pasterze . Your water is collected for the Kaprun power plant group and channeled over the Tauern main ridge into the catchment area of ​​the Salzach .

The border between Carinthia and East Tyrol runs through the upper part of the Leitertal along the Leiterbach. The lower part of the valley lies entirely in Carinthia. The ladder separates the Glockner group from the Schober group from its origin to the Moosbach . The first ascent of the Großglockner took place via the Leitertal, which is why the Salmhütte is a particularly traditional refuge in the valley . Today the route over the Leitertal to the Glockner is relatively light. On the edge of the Leitertal are on the Berger Törl , the Glorerhütte and, on the Adlersruhe, the Erzherzog-Johann-Hütte .

In the first stanza of the Carinthian Heimatlied , the leader of pure source is mentioned.
