Leupoldsdorf is located in the Fichtelgebirge in the province of Upper Franconia in northeast Bavaria. The river Röslau flows through area, but numerous smaller rivers also originate here. The village is surrounded by thick forest which covers the whole of the Schneeberg massif and only opens up in the direction of Wunsiedel. In addition it lies at the foot of the Platte, a mountain on which there are giant sheets (Platten) of granite. A somewhat lower-lying granite quarry can be seen from a long way off.
