The Hessian areas of the wooded mountain belong to the Diemelsee Nature Park . To the north, the landscape leads over to the Schellhorn ridge with the Großer Kluskopf ( 761 m ) and the Rehkopf ( 674.7 m ). The Hoppecke flows east past the Hoppernkopf, the Schmala rises to the southwest of its summit region and the stream on the eastern flank of the state border , both tributaries of the Hoppecke.

Place of execution of the Kurkölner Gogericht
Almost 1 km south-southwest of the Hoppernkopf summit, above the source area of the Schmala, there is a former execution site ( ⊙ ) of the Kurkölner Gogericht . It is located directly southeast of the state border on Hessian territory at an altitude of 762.6 m (instead of 800 m according to the inscription on the memorial stone there).
