It is situated at the north foot of the Thuringian Forest, 21 km by rail southwest of the town of Gotha.

It is surrounded by fir-clad hills and possesses numerous handsome villa residences, a Kurhaus and a sanatorium.

In the immediate neighborhood is the beautiful ducal hunting seat of Reinhardsbrunn, built out of the ruins of the famous Benedictine monastery founded in 1085.
