In the Bergisches Land nature park, it is located in the northern part of the municipal area of Much , whose core town is about 4.5 km (as the crow flies ) south; The Mucher district of Heckhaus is located on the southern high elevations of the mountain.

The Heckberg has two wooded mountain peaks, the south-west knoll ( 383.4  m ) and the north-east knoll ( 383  m ), which are about 125 m apart. On its eastern flank the Heckbach rises as a small Loopebach tributary and also the Wahnbach and on the western flank its tributary Gibbinghauser Bach . About 2 km to the west is the Kleine Heckberg ( 348.1  m ), where the Naafbach rises.

The medieval trade route Brüderstraße led over the Heckberg. Today the route is marked as the Elisabethpfad and Kurkölner Weg .
