At 388 m, the Hohe Schaden is the highest point in the municipality of Eitorf and in the Leuscheid forest area .

Two large stream systems arise from the high damage that do not leave the Leuscheid:

In addition, the Dickersbach , the Sehlenbach and the Altebach arise from its Friedrichsquellen .

Side hills of the Hohe Schaden are Hurst with a height of 288 m and the Hüppelröttchen, named after a former forester's house . In the neighboring town of Stein there is a basalt quarry that testifies to former volcanic activity.

In 1867, a wooden observation tower was built on the summit, consisting of three floors, each ten feet high. Today the mountain no longer offers a panoramic view due to the trees on the summit.
