The soils of the Leinhöhle consist of loam , loamy sand and occasionally contain sandstone rubble; the nature of the soil often changes between these types. The Haardt mountain range protects the Leinhöhle from precipitation on its leeward side , and the slope of the slope means that on frosty spring nights, cold air can flow down to the Rhine plain and the vines usually do not get frostbitten.
