location

The badger heads rise in the western Hintertaunus . In the Einrich they are in the eastern area of ​​the local community Osterspai between the local communities Dahlheim in the south-southwest and Dachsenhausen in the northeast. The large roof head in the south and the small roof head in the north are almost 500 m apart.

Parts of the Nassau nature park with those of the Middle Rhine Valley bird sanctuary extend down to the western and northern slopes of the Dachsköpfe (VSG no. 5711-401; 151.53 km² in size). Landesstraße  334 (Dahlheim – Dachsenhausen) runs west past the wooded roof tops. To the northeast is the Hohe Wald ( 441.1  m ), just under 1.5 km away .
