The engagement urn is a listed monument in the Alexisbad district of the town of Harzgerode. It is located on the rocky outcrop of the Habichtstein on the right, eastern slope of the Selketal high above the southern entrance to Alexisbad. In the immediate vicinity of the engagement urn is the stamp office number 177 of the Harzer hiking nobility. The Selketalstieg, which runs along the cliff path here, leads past the urn. A little further east is the Birkenhäuschen.
