The municipality covers an area of 159.24 km² and is located in the valley of the Granitzenbach north of the Obdach Saddle the transition from the Upper Murtal to the Lavanttal. The municipal area extends from the valley to the west to the Seetal Alps with the highest peak, the Zirbitzkogel (2396 m). Obdach was first mentioned in a document in 1190 as "Obdah". The name goes back to the Old High German obadah (protective roof). It is likely that there was a refreshment stop on the land lot for travelers on their way to Carinthia.
