particularities

The wooded hilltop is part of a small ridge between the Duderstädter basin with the Golden Mark in the east and the hill country of the Lower Eichsfeld in the west, whereby the basin of Sattenhausen no longer belongs to the historical Eichsfeld. It extends over the Fuchsberg (approx. 285 m), the Hainholz (293.7 m) to the Roten Uferberg (approx. 360 m) near the Thuringian border, where it merges into the mountain range of the Zehnsberg .

The Sonnenberg is connected to the southwestern Ottenberg (277.2 m) via a narrow saddle . To the north it is bordered by the Suhle (Hahle) , to the east by Gothenbeek and to the south by the Habichtstal . Some hiking trails lead across the mountain area to a refuge and numerous barrows from the Bronze Age . The mountain is part of the Seulinger Forest and the Untereichsfeld nature reserve .
