Its valley settlements are Hinternaßwald in the northeast, Altenberg an der Rax in the east, Kapellen and Neuberg an der Mürz in the south, Mürzsteg and Frein an der Mürz in the west. The heavily wooded mountains and hills north of the Schneealpe are uninhabited.

The Schneealpen House and several alm huts are located the high plateau at a height of about 1,780 metres. On the western perimeter of the plateau on the Hinteralm is another Alpine Club hut, the Hinteralm House. In the northern area is the source region of the Kalte Mürz. The Schneealpen area belongs, together with the Rax and the Schneeberg, to the catchment area of the First Vienna Mountain Spring Pipeline (I. Wiener Hochquellenwasserleitung). Drinking water is led through the Schneealpen Tunnel, built between 1965 and 1968 by the city of Vienna, to Hinternaßwald.

gollark: What? You can totally have "rational" in the sense of "really good at achieving its goals" or something, and still have goals very misaligned with what people want.
gollark: Merry birthday!
gollark: I don't think it would work very well. PDFs are basically just images with text layers or something and a stupidly convoluted format.
gollark: Is there an EPUB version? PDFs are annoying to read.
gollark: There will have been millennia to refine flowcharts and/or to just stick fairly general AI in there, so I don't see the problem. Just have a nonvolitional narrow AI to manage piloting.
