Within the Kürnach forest there, it rises about 1.4 km northwest of Eschach , a district of Buchenberg , to whose municipal area the mountain is one. Parts of the fauna-flora-habitat area Kürnacher Wald (FFH no. 8227-373; 27.5961  km² ) are located on the mountain .

Watershed

The Ursersberg forms the highest point on the watershed between the Kürnach in the north, the Eschach in the south and the Kollerbach in the east: The water of the Goldach flowing north of the mountain, which is fed by the Kleine and Große Goldach , runs through the Kürnach into the Eschach, and that of a brook that rises on the southern slope of the mountain, also flows into the Eschach, the water of which then flows through the Aitrach , Iller and Danube towards the Black Sea .
