The Hoher Stein lies west of the town of Kirchenlamitz and northeast of the Großer Waldstein mountain in the forest district of Hallersteiner Forst Süd. Although the Hoher Stein is not far from another rock formation, the Kleiner Waldstein, they are only linked by circuitous routes. Sights in the vicinity are the source of the Lamitz and the Epprechtstein.
