location
The mountain is part of the main ridge of the mountain range ( Hohes Ebbe ) in the western Sauerland and is located on the southern edge of the municipality of Herscheid in the Märkisches Kreis ( administrative district Arnsberg in North Rhine-Westphalia ). Just a few hundred meters south, below the hilltop , the urban area of Meinerzhagen begins with the nearby Valbert district . The city boundary to Attendorn in the Olpe district is about the same distance in an easterly direction . To the north, belonging to Herscheid, the valley floor of the Oester extends in a west-east direction , which is called Ebbebach in the upper reaches and is dammed up to the nearby Oestertalsperre , with the hamlets Ebbe , im Ebbe , Daum , Kiesbert and Reblin located here .
The summit of the 662.7 m high Nordhelle is about 2.3 kilometers to the west and the secondary summit , separated from it only by a depression , the Waldberg with an elevation of 638 m above sea level. NHN is only a good kilometer away in the same direction. The Rüenhardt (636 m high) rises even closer to the east and is separated from the Rehberg by a notch of just 20 meters.
