The cadastral community lies in the Upper Pinzgau at the southern foot of the 2,225 m high Wildkogel in the municipality of Bramberg and west of the municipality of Hollersbach im Pinzgau. 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.
