location
The Bensberg is located in the Habichtswald Nature Park and is part of the main ridge of the Langenberge, which includes Schwengeberg ( 556.7 m ), Laufskopf ( 534.8 m ) and Bilstein (approx. 460 m ). It rises between the villages of Ermetheis (to Niedenstein ) in the west, Besse (to Edermünde ) in the east-southeast and Grossenritte (to Baunatal in the neighboring district of Kassel ) in the northeast. Its summit is a few meters west of the municipal boundary of Gudensberg and Edermünde in the Gudensberg area, to which the western slope also belongs; its eastern slope belongs to the municipality of Edermünde.
The neighbor is the approximately 650 m south-southeast located Bilstein, and 1.1 km northwest is the Laufskopf. The 3219 state road leads between Ermetheis and Großenritte over the mountain saddle leading to the Laufskopf. The Langenbergrennen used to end at the Bensberg hikers' car park there .

The Pilgerbach rises to the east and flows eastward into the Fulda tributary Eder. A little further north, the Leisel rises on the Laufskopf , the water of which reaches the Fulda directly through the Bauna .
