The culminating point is located west of within the canton of Zurich, the border with the canton of Aargau runs across a slightly lower summit named , at an elevation of .
The mountain lies in the easternmost part of the Jura Mountains, east of the river Aare. It is the highest summit of the range lying between the High Rhine, Aare and Limmat. Its location east of the Aare makes it topographically connected to the Appenzell Alps, by the chain of hills running north of Lake Zurich.
