    Vöckelsbach is located in the western Odenwald near the mountain road on the upper reaches of the Vöckelsbach, a left southern tributary of the Mörlenbach, which flows into the Weschnitz at Mörlenbach-Mitte. In the south, the district extends to the wooded slopes of the Götzensteins (522 meters).

    Within a radius of less than a kilometer around Vöckelsbach lie in the west of the hamlet Geisenbach, in the southwest of the hamlet Schnorrenbach and in the east the village Mackenheim.

      First efforts to connect the forest to the railway network, there were already in 1867. Of various variants, finally, the construction of a railway with connection to the Weschnitztalbahn in Mörlenbach was chosen. In the spring of 1898, construction began. Between the pond and the forest Michelbach three larger viaducts and two tunnels were needed to run the route in the mountainous landscape on the rise of Kreidacher height. In 1901 the track was opened. The original railway line in the Odenwald led from Mörlenbach to elections.
      Today the Überwaldbahn is partially mined.
      Since summer 2013 there is a tourist "solar" handcart service from Mörlenbach to Waldmichelbach.
      From Waldmichelbach there is today a bike and trail to Wahlen and on to Grasellenbach.
