The border of Bavaria in the east and Hesse in the west runs over its summit. To the northeast is the core town of the Bavarian community of Motten , to the west is the Hessian village of Heubach , a south-eastern part of Kalbach .
To the northeast, the mountain is passed by an upper section of the Fliede tributary Döllau (Bavarian name of the Döllbach ), and to the southeast by one of the “Kleinen Sinn” (Bavarian name for the narrow sense ; tributary of the sense ). The Döllau tributary Schmidtwasser runs west of the mountain .
Its south-southwest branch is the Kleine Haube ( 592.5 m ; 1,075 m away) , which is also located on the Bavarian-Hessian border .

A few meters east of the summit of the wooded Großer Haube , i.e. on Bavarian soil, a 23.8 m high observation tower was rebuilt from 2004 to 2005 , which offers a comprehensive panorama: Milseburg , Wasserkuppe , Dammersfeldkuppe , Kreuzberg can be seen in an arc from northeast to south , Great and Small Auersberg and the Dreistelzberg .
