The mountain forms the border between Podigrac (Podigraz, Kungota municipality ) and Graßnitzberg , the summit is in the Kungota area. To the north the Katzengrabenbach and the Oberggbach flow to the Spielfeldbach, to the south the Plački potok (Platschbach), which drains to the Pesnica (Pössnitz) . The village of Plač is located a little further out of the valley.
Not far to the northeast is the 441 m high Hochgraßnitzberg in the ridge , to the west the Witscheinberg / Svečinski vrh with 515 m / 517 m . In between there is the Austrian town of Zieregg (Cirnik) at 471 m , from where a ridge leads north to the Graßnitzberg ( 393 m ). The Riedel von Obegg ( 360 m ) lies between Katzengrabenbach and Oberggbach . The ridge of Vrtiče (up to 393 m ) and Stara Gora pri Šentilju ( 402 m ) strike south .
Between Zieregg and Platschberg there is the pass as a saddle that the road crosses, and a little south of it the small local border crossing Ehrenhausen – Platsch (Zieregg). This road also forms the municipal border between Straß zu Ehrenhausen ( L660 ) and the cadastral border from Podigrac to Ciringa (Slovenian Zieregg, R708 ).

History and Development
Traces of prehistoric settlement have been found on Plački vrh, probably from the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age .
As early as Roman times, a main road led over the pass from the Mur valley to the Drautal, the Roman road Poetovio - Poedicum (Ptuj - Bruck an der Mur), probably northwards via Graßnitzberg and Ewitsch to Ehrenhausen; today crossing Šentilj - Spielfeld likely because of the extensive pastures of the Murebene have been impassable, so the street from Ad Vicesimum (Radkersburg) Mur right bank ran. The name is probably derived from the street, it was named as Plavers in the princely land register in 1265 , which could therefore stand in Slavic placevati 'pay' for a toll . This is how the Alte Poststrasse continued into modern times . In 1822 the pass was mentioned as "a mountain on the main road from Trieste to Vienna that made it very difficult for commerce". Today the Platscher Straße runs here (L660 from the Grenzland Weinstraße L613 near Zieregg, then the Slovenian R708 to Kungota).
The pass formed the border of the Styrian judicial districts of Marburg and Leibnitz , with the Treaty of Saint Germain in 1919 it became a state border, initially with the Republic of Austria as an SHS state , then with Yugoslavia , and since 1991 with Slovenia. Since Slovenia joined the EU in 2004, the passport has been freely passable again.
In the course of the refugee crisis in Europe , Austria erected a border fence at the Spielfeld border crossing from November 2015, which should extend over 3½ kilometers up to the border crossing on the Platsch. Because the flow of refugees ebbed, the structure was only erected in the core zone as a signage system; there were no illegal crossings on the side route on the Platsch.
The summit is considered to be a particularly beautiful panoramic mountain with a view of southern Styria and the Marburg area. At the summit of the Platschberg there is a lookout tower built in 2000, which is modeled on the one on the Kreuzberg . Access is on the Slovenian side, a small road leads there.
