It starts 11.5 km west of Kufstein (Tyrol) and connects the Ursprung valley in the north in Bavaria with the Thiersee valley in Tyrol in the south. The pass road has a maximum slope of 13%. Motor vehicles hauling trailers may use the street.
On the western part, a toll road (cyclists free of charge) to Ackernalm may be entered. There is only one restaurant at the road: Zipflwirt (located on the German side; since 1912[1]).
