The mountain lies 7 km north of Rennerod and 4 km west of the Fuchskaute, immediately by the crossing of the B 414 (south) and B 54 (east) federal roads. It is framed by the villages of Salzburg to the south, Stein-Neukirch to the north (whose municipal territory runs over the crest), Hof to the west and Bretthausen to the east.
