Mountain region

The northern part of the municipality is dominated by the plateau of the Hochschwabgruppe. Here lies near the famous Sonnschienalm (with the like-named Schutzhütte) the Frauenmauerhöhle gorge and the Sackwiesensee lake. The following well-known peaks rise over the municipality territory:

• Ebenstein (2,123 m)

Administration

The former mayors of Tragöß and St. Katharein lost their function, as did the community leaders and the local councils. It was planned for 23 March 2015 that the next municipal elections would take place, where a new municipal council and the mayor are elected. Until the election of the new town council, Hubert Zinner was appointed by the Steiermärkische Landesregierung as a government commissioner. Eduard Lengger (Tragöß) and Werner Mikusch (St. Katharein) were appointed as advisors by the dissolved municipal councils. This practice was a consultative role for the government commissioner.[7]

The municipal office is located in St. Katharein. Tragöß holds a Bürgerservicestelle civil-service branch.[8]
