The Schmalzgrube is the very deepest valley of the Mur . It is located near Muhr im Lungau , in the province of Salzburg .
Location and landscape
The uppermost valley of the Mur is called Muhrtal or - especially the rear section - Murwinkel . At the Stickleralm, this north-west trending valley bends to south-west, and then ends after a good 5 kilometers. The cirque in the last section is the lard pit.
It lies between the Murtörl ridge ( 2402 m above sea level ) - Mureck - Schöderhorn (Großes Mureck, 2475 m above sea level ) - Schöderscharte to the west, and the ridge of the Rosskar Frischinghöhe ( 2466 m above sea level ) - Rosskarscharte - Frauennock ( 2678 m above sea level ) - Schmalzscharte east. The two ridges meet in the Marchkareck ( 2661 m above sea level ), which forms the head of the Schmalzgrube valley . These mountains belong to the Hafner group of the Ankogel group . North of the Murtörl line, the Mur separates the Hohe Tauern from the Niederen Tauern , here the Radstädter Tauern .
The rear area of the Schmalzgrube is rubble from glaciers that have long since disappeared. There is a source of rubble at approx. 2050 m above sea level. A. the top source of the Mur. In the outer lard pit is then at 1998 m above sea level. A. the powerful source of the Mur , which rises as a layer spring from a limestone bank.
The Talung belongs to the Hohe Tauern National Park as well as to the Lungau – Nockberge Biosphere Park .

The Albertbiwak , a bivouac box, is located on the Schmalzscharte .
Shortly before the Schmalzgrube, the path branches off to Murtörl , the transition to Hüttschlag in the Pongauer Großarltal .
