It rises between the towns of Ermetheis (to Niedenstein ) in the southwest, Besse (to Edermünde ) in the southeast and Grossenritte (to Baunatal in the neighboring district of Kassel ) in the east-northeast. Its summit is about 180 m southwest of the municipal boundary of Gudensberg and Edermünde in the Gudensberg area, which also includes the southern and western slopes; its eastern slope belongs to the municipality of Edermünde.
