The Nordhelle rises in the western Sauerland roughly in the centre of the Ebbe highlands and within the Ebbe Mountain Nature Park - in the municipal area of Herscheid in the borough of Meinerzhagen. Its summit lies about 200 metres north of the boundary between Herscheid and its parish of Reblin to the north and Meinerzhagen with its quarter of Valbert in the south, this boundary reaching a maximum height of about 652 m. Höhe Whilst the summit area and the northern parts of the mountain belong to the municipality of Herscheid, the southern area belongs to the parish of Valbert. To the east-southeast of the Nordhelle is a subpeak, the Waldberg (ca. 638 m) and its south-southwestern neighbour is the Große Hahn (632.6 m).
