Situated within the valley of the Möll River, Reißeck consists of the four Katastralgemeinden Kolbnitz, Zandlach, Penk and Teuchl. The commune was established in 1973 and named after the northern Reißeck mountain (2,965m/9,727ft), a part of the Hohe Tauern range like the Kreuzeck Group in the south.
