From west to east these are: the Admonter Horn 2,184 m, the Reichenstein main summit 2,251 m above sea level (AA) and the Totenköpfl 2,178 m. The Admonter Horn is separated from the main summit by the Reichenstein Saddle (Reichensteinsattel, 2,170 m). The Totenköpfl is separated from the main summit by the notch of the Reichensteinscharte 2,100 m. The mountain is surrounded on all sides by steep rock faces and drops. The Reichenstein is separated from the Sparafeld in the west by the wind gap of the Wildscharte 1,903 m.
