The Dernbach stream, a tributary of the Eisbach, flows through the village from north to south direction and the village itself is surrounded by forested hills. A few hundred metres north of the built-up area is the valley of Holpertal.
On the Schlossberg ("castle hill"), which rises above the village, are the ruins of the castle of Ramburg.

Prominent hills within the municipality include the Drenselberg (524 m), the Schindl Kopf (510 m) and the Hühnerkopf (477 m).
