The hill, which is located south of Dransfeld, is the highest point in the Dransfeld region by a long way. It lies within the Dransfeld Municipal Forest, a hill massif in the Münden Nature Park that is about halfway between Göttingen to the northeast and Hann. Münden to the southwest.
On top of the Hoher Hagen stands the Gauß Tower, a 51 metre high observation tower at 478 m above NN.
