The Katschbach goes south to the Mur. To the north, Bräualmbach to the west and Großsölkbach from the Sölkpass to the east converge in Sankt Nikolai.
A cross point of the ridge starts south of the Sauofen. The main ridge to the west (here: northwest) is followed by the shrine ( 2410 m above sea level ), and then the Süßleiteck ( 2507 m above sea level ). The upper Etrachgraben goes to the southwest , and over the saddle of the Toreben (approx. 2170 m ) and the Dachleiteck ( 2463 m above sea level ) the ridge of the Rupprechtseck ( 2591 m above sea level ).
