The Kräuterin is a child about 10 × 12 km large massif ( mountain range ) in the Ybbstaler Alps and realized with the high barn a peak altitude of 1919 m.

The mountain range is located in the north of Styria, near the border with Lower Austria and is bounded to the northwest of the Göstlinger Alps (especially from Dürrenstein ), to the east of the Mariazell mountains ( Big Zellerhut, 1639 m) and to the south by the Salza. This deeply incised, winding valley separates the Kräuterin from the high Schwab group, which is similar in shapes. By Salzatal the historic iron street runs (now B24) and the Second Vienna Mountain Spring Pipeline.

The 7 km long, north - south facing main ridge ends in the north in the thread wall ( 1420 m ), which drops steeply to Roth forest on Dürrenstein, one of the strictest conservation areas in Austria. Also in the south, at the foot of the western and southern walls of herbal peak (1726 m), 's Small barn high (1838 m) and Ilmlahn, a conservation area, which extends up the valley side Wild Alps and Weichselboden extends.

In the east the main ridge a diverse Bergland is preceded by that of Hochtürnach (1770 m) over the Tannberg ( 1509 m ) and his Rotmoos to Dürradmer ( 800-820 m ) is sufficient, the widely branched, almbedeckten valley of Radmerbaches between three 1440m high mountains. The northernmost of them ( Black Mountain, 1426 m) is, however, already counted in the mountain range of the three Zeller hats.
