The pass leads between the Wechsel (1,743 m [5,719 ft]) and the Stuhleck (1,784 m [5,853 ft]).
With the Semmering, it is one of the most important links between Lower Austria and Styria.
Many hiking trails in the area make it a destination for hikers, particularly to the nearby Sonnwendstein.[1][2]
In winter, the area is a popular cross-country skiing venue.[3]
