Except for the craggy summit of the Reisalpe, which rise towards the tree line, the group is a gentle, wooded landscape of low mountain range character .

Boundary and neighboring mountain groups

According to the Austrian mountain group structure according to Trimmel , the group has the number 1866 and belongs as a subgroup to the Gutenstein Alps (1860, AVE 23), a subgroup of the Lower Austrian Limestone Alps (1800).

It is bounded by Trimmel (clockwise from the northwest, border lines in italics, high and low points with kote):

in the north the Gölsen (mouth 346 m above sea level at Traisen Markt ) to mouth Halbach near Rainfeld to the Alpine foothills - area between Tulln and Wiener Pforte (1917)
in the east of Halbachtal via Kleinzell to Kalte Kuchl ( 728 m above sea level ) - long side channel to confluence with the cell stream on the Unterberg – Jochart train (1867)
in the south-east, for a short cell stream down to the mouth ( 636 m above sea level ) at Gschaiderwirt to the Handlesberg – Haberkogel group (1865)
in the south Schwarza (called Tiefentalbach near Trimmel ) upwards - Trauchbach upwards to Trauch zum Obersberg (1843, is part of the Göller-Gippel-Zug 1840)
in the southwest of Wassertal - Sattel between Haselstein and Schwaigerkogel (approx. 903 m above sea level ) - Seebach to the confluence at St. Aegyd aN - Croatian village to Gippel (1842)
in the west Unrechttraisen down via Hohenberg to Freiland to the group of the Türnitzer Höger (1835, Türnitz Alps 1830)
in the north-west Traisen down over Lilienfeld to the confluence of the Gölsen to the mountains between Pielach and Traisen (1837)

Outline and summit

Northwest ridge of the group: Muckenkogel left and Traisener Hinteralm right, from the west

The group as a whole has a characteristic Y-shape.

The southern ridge between Reisalpe and Hegerberg is only 900 m high and shows some minor peaks. To the south of the Hegerberg, the Großenberg ( 1102 m above sea level , with Kleiner Großenberg) as well as Tettenhengst ( 958 m above sea level ) and Steinaberg ( 950 m above sea level ), i.e. the mountains on both sides of the Green Schwarza , are part of the Group.

The Kleinzeller-Hinteralm on the north side of the Reisalpe

The Wiesenbach valley penetrates the group from the north .

The north-western ridge branches off just south of the Reisalpe and runs down over Hinteralm ( 1311 m above sea level ) and Muckenkogel ( 1248 m above sea level ) towards Lilienfeld (Kolmberg / Steinhofberg, 956 m above sea level ) and Traisen, where the ridge line is already populated.
The northeast ridge is divided into several parts. There are the Hochstaff ( 1305 m above sea level ), the Sengenebenberg ( 1104 m above sea level , northernmost 1000m in the Alps) or the Schwarzwaldeck ( 1073 m above sea level ) mountains worth mentioning. Otherwise there are several villages of Kleinzell and St. Veit on the heights and in the trenches.
