Run and landscape

The Spitalbach rises in the southeastern Wechsel area , southeast of Mönichkirchen , on Windbichl and diving mountain north of Feldbauern , at about 870  m . It flows shortly eastwards to below the Hartberg , and then southwards towards Pinkatal. Initially, it accompanies the Wechselbahn south of the Hartberg tunnel and roughly forms the Styrian-Lower Austrian border. Then it passes, as the municipality boundary between Schäffern and Pinggau , the towns of Spital and Anger to the south. Shortly after it opens at the toboggan mill left in the Tauchenbach .

The Spitalbach, together with the Hartberg, is a possible border between the change area and the Bucklige Welt or the Bernstein Mountains .
