Scheiden is located in the middle of the Saarland high forest at an altitude of 480 to 510 meters above sea level about 4 kilometers north of Losheim. The highest point in the district reaches a height of 585 meters above sea level. This means that the smallest part of the municipality of Losheim am See in terms of population is also the highest town in Saarland.

Otherwise, this is a very rural and sparsely populated area.

The Hochwald offers great conditions for road cycling. A great relationship between mountain and valley trips; and always charming

But that only applies to the town center. Weiskirchen, for example, is significantly higher at the top, which is quite noticeable.
