Source:[1] Dotzlar is located in the air line about 3.5 km south-southeast of the city center of Bad Berleburg, whose area is located in the northeast of the district Siegen-Wittgenstein in the middle of the Rothaargebirge.

The city of Bad Laasphe is bordered to the south and the municipality of Erndtebrück to the southwest.

In the north, the border to the core town of Bad Berleburg is closed.

The old river, which still bears the name of the mountain fortress may prove the old age of the village.
