The Rantzauhöhe is the third-highest elevation in the North Frisia district.

It is located in the Langenberg Forest and is 45 m high.

The Langenberg Forest is located in the municipalities of Enge-Sande, Leck, and Stadum. The Langenberg and the Rantzauhöhe also have a cultural-historical function, as they once separated the Danish and North Frisian settlement areas in western Southern Schleswig.

The name Rantzauhöhe comes from the Danish ransel, meaning "backpack," which was later reinterpreted in German as "Rantzaul." A burial mound is said to have once stood on the Warkshöhe, the highest point of the Langenberg.

A stone bearing an inscription, possibly runic, was allegedly found on another nearby elevation of the Langenberg.

Legend of the origin of the Langenberg:

Once upon a time, a giant traveled north from Dithmarschen across the Eider River to help build a church in Ripen. As he walked through the sands of the Goesharde, his wooden shoes filled with sand. He sat down north of the Soholmer Au and poured out the sand. This resulted in the two highest peaks of the Langenberg: Ranselsberg and Werkshug.
