The ship's head is a 417 m high, completely wooded elevation and is located in the Gerstunger Forest, a closed forest area of the Gerstungen municipality in the Wartburg district in Thuringia .

Presumably , wood was felled for the Weser rafts at the ship's head and its southern neighbor, the Flötschkopf . The Creuzburger Saline Wilhelmsglücksbrunn also obtained verifiably wood from the Gerstung forests. The forests on the Flötschgraben were the easiest to reach from the embedment site near Neustädt. During the GDR era, the Gerstung Forest was inaccessible in the restricted area.
