The cirque between the north face of the Steinbergstein, the Ramkarkopf (2,063 m) and the Steinberg (1,886 m), which is rich in springs, forms the Steinberggraben stream that empties into the Windauer Ache river.

The source of the Trattenbach stream lies to the south of the Steinberg, feeding the Kurze Grundache, a tributary of the Kelchsauer Ache.

Above the tree line the open slopes are used as grazing grounds for sheep, goats, cows and horses.

From Kelchsau the route runs along the track past the Sonnblick snack bar to the Demmels Hut.

Another route runs along the trafficable forest track in the Windautal valley then continues to the foot of the Kröndlhorn mountain, up to the Steinberghaus and the Gamskogel Hut.
