The hilltop castle ruins are located about 290 m north of the village of Helmarshausen, a district of Bad Karlshafen not far from the northern end of the Reinhardswald forest, and about 500 m southwest of the Karlshafen colony of Nollendorf. It is located on the 184.2 m above sea level[1] high Waltersberg, whose summit is about 80 m above a bend in the Diemel river; the latter flows into the Weser 1.4 km northwest of the ruins in the Karlshafen town center.
