The district road K 3919 and the state road L 585 run on its ridge without large height gradients in the area of the pass saddle and thus create the connection between Hesselbach on the other side of the state border in Hesse in the north-west and Schloßau in the south-east. The Neckar-Odenwald-Limes also ran along the ridge of the Heidenberg. The small fort Seitzenbuche secured at 460.7 m above sea level.

The transition across to the ridge over the saddle on the Seitzenbuche has recently been used by the L 2311 state road, which connects the valley system of the Mud in the northeast with that of the Itter in the southwest via serpentines on both sides .
