Demarcation
In the north and north-west, the area of the Kreuzberg group is separated from the Dammersfeld ridge by the Brend and the Sinn within the same main unit Osthessisches Bergland with the subunit Hohe Rhön . In the southwest, also belonging to the same main unit, the mountain group is separated from the Black Mountains by the Kellersbach . In the south, the Hammelburger Südrhön , which belongs to the main unit Odenwald, Spessart and Südrhön, borders with the Adelsberger Wald . In the east, belonging to the Eastern South Rhön , this is the Schönau plateau .
geology
The rock is assigned to the Upper Buntsandstein . There is a layer of shell limestone on top. A layer of Lettenkeuper and a layer of Gypsum Keuper can be seen on top again. Basalt can be seen on the east side of the Kreuzberg summit, as well as at the level of the shell limestone layers.
Where there is red sandstone, the slopes are flat. The slopes become steeper on the morphologically harder shell limestone.
The soils of the mountain range are predominantly loamy.
