The Burbecke stream emerges west of the Langenberg and the Raken on its northern flank, both within the catchment area of the Gierskoppbach. The Langenberg is passed to the east in a south-north direction by the upper reaches of the Hoppecke, into which a small brook runs that comes out of a valley - Der Keller (The Cellar) - on the southeast side of the mountain. South of the Langenberg are the crosstracks known as the Oberer Burbecker Platz and Unterer Burbecker Platz. A section of the long-distance footpath known as the Rothaarsteig runs by the summit to the west in a north-south direction, passing a historic boundary stone.
