It is located in the Rhön Biosphere Reserve between the communities of Schenklengsfeld in the north-west and Hohenroda in the north-northeast (both districts of Hersfeld-Rotenburg) and Eiterfeld (district of Fulda) in the south-west.
Its summit is about 800 m northwest of the village of Soislieden (Hohenroda). Villages near the mountain are also Wehrshausen (Schenklengsfeld) in the north, Mansbach (Hohenroda) in the east-southeast, Soisdorf in the south-south-east, Unterufhausen in the south-south-west, Oberufhausen in the south-west, Oberweiseborn (all to Eiterfeld) in the west and Unterweiseborn (Schenklengsfeld) in the west-north-west.
The Breizbach (Breitzbach) rises to the northeast of the Soisberg at the grass pit and the Sauer rises to the southwest near Oberweiseborn . The neighboring mountains include: Schwärzelsberg ( 464.6 m ) and Langeberg in the north-northeast, Grasberg ( 478 m ) in the east-northeast, Steiger ( 446 m ) in the south-west and Eichberg ( 412.4 m ) in the north-west.

Parts of the Schwärzelsberg-Langeberg-Grasburg nature reserve (CDDA no. 165500; 1996; 2.4512 km²) are located on the lower part of its northeast slope, which slopes down to the Breizbach, as well as on the Schwärzelsberg, Langeberg and Grasberg .
Soisberg Tower
The almost 25 m high Soisberg Tower has stood on the summit of the Soisberg since 2003, a steel structure with wooden cladding with 111 steps. It was inaugurated on May 1, 2004. The tower offers a wide all-round view of the Hohe Meißner in the north, the Thuringian Forest in the east, the Hohe Rhön in the south, the Vogelsberg in the southwest, the Knüll in the west and the Habichtswald in the northwest. When the view is clear, you can see the Kassel Hercules . The Soisbergturm e. V. takes care of the tower and provides a summit book in which hikers can register.
Traffic and walking
South past the Soisberg extends between upper Ufhausen and Mansbach the national road 3380. Approximately branches halfway between two villages thereof, the county road under 14, the east past Soislieden , where branch roads lead to the north-northwest by Wehrshausen to L near 3172 Schenklengsfeld runs . It merges with the L 3171, which leads southwest to Unterweiseborn . From this, the K 6 and K 158 road axes, which run south-east to Ufhausen and which crosses the L 3380 after passing the village, branches off in Unterweiseborn. So you can drive around the mountain.
Many field, forest and hiking trails run on and over the Soisberg. About the northern, eastern and southern slopes of the mountain passes in the section Landeck Mountain -Schenklengsfeld-Soisberg- Stallberg - Hünfeld the European long-distance path E6 .
