Mühlbach im Pinzgau is a village and a cadastral parish (Katastralgemeinde) within the municipality of Bramberg am Wildkogel.
A stream of the same name flows through Mühlbach and it is one of the few tributaries in the Upper Pinzgau that empties into the Salzach river from the north.
Its valley runs from the village of Mühlbach upstream in a curve, first in a northerly direction and then swings westwards behind the Wildkogel.
Nevertheless there are still numerous house and farm names that recall past mining functions, for example: Knappenstubn, Öfner, Grubenhüter, Schmirber, Verwalter, Handelsschmied and more besides.
Local public transport services that stop in Mühlbach include buses of the Salzburger Verkehrsverbund and Austrian Postbus companies running between Krimml and Zell am See, as well as the Pinzgauer Lokalbahn, which enables connexions to the Austrian main line network in Zell am See.
