To the northeast, the Stadlerberg is separated from the Ämperg ( 514 m above sea level ) by the Kistenpass . The connecting road from Bachs to Stadel leads over the Stig ( 538 m above sea level ) ▼ called saddle of the Stadlerberg .
To the north of the Stadlerberg lies the village of Weiach and the village of Raat on the Kistenpass . East of the Stadlerberg are Windlach , Schüpfheim and the town of Stadel that gives it its name.
