The Kesselkopf is a 378.1 m high elevation that is completely wooded except for the eastern lower slope and is located in the Gerstunger Forest, a closed forest area of the municipality of Gerstungen in the Wartburg district in Thuringia . In terms of nature, the Kesselkopf belongs to the eastern part of the Solztrottenwald in the Richelsdorf Mountains .
The Vitstrauchbach runs on the western slope of the mountain, the corridor there is called "Das Gebrannte" - whether as an indication of slash and burn or a naturally caused forest fire - cannot be decided. The Kesselkopf, located on the southern edge of the Gerstunger Forest, was reforested with pine and spruce in the late 19th century. During the GDR era, the Gerstung Forest was inaccessible in the restricted area.
