As the information board at the nature reserve Schlossbergsattel at Markt Einersheim reported, the Schlossberg is 410 m high and is located on the southern edge of the southern tip of the Steigerwald. The cause of the emergence of the slopes and the plateau are the different hard layers of the middle Keupers. On the Schlossberg saddle is the reed sandstone.The protected area has a size of approx. 78 ha. The area belongs to the European protected area network Natura 2000 and consists of small fields with different uses. Numerous endangered plants and animals were given habitat here. For example, the remains of the castle ruin Speckfeld offer refuge to various species of bats.
