The Tanneben is a cave-rich limestone between Peggau and Semriach and belongs to the Central Styrian Karst .
The northern boundary is the Badlgraben, the southern boundary is the Mitterbach, the western boundary is the Murtal and to the east the Semriach basin. The main elevations are the Krienzerkogel ( 906 m above sea level ), the Hochglaserer ( 910 m above sea level ), the Möstlkogel ( 901 m above sea level ), the Scheiderkogel ( 824 m above sea level ), the Bloderkogel ( 816 m above sea level ), the Hochbrand ( 813 m above sea level ) and the Angerleitenkogel ( 714 m above sea level ). The plateau is characterized by densely forested hills, shallow depressions and numerous sinkholes. There are currently around 200 known caves in the Tannebenstock. The best known is the Lurgrotte , which crosses the Tanneben from Semriach to Peggau over a length of approx. 5 km. Geologically, the Tanneben consists of a series of rocks consisting of water-retaining slates from the Semriach basin and Schöckl limestone and dolomites .
