The mountain is entirely located in the municipal territory of Aš in the Karlovy Vary Region, northeast of the built-up area of the town.

In 1861 the village of Asch bought it from the Zedwitz family for 6,000 gold talers and, with the help especially of Georg Unger, later called the "Father of the Hainberg", the woods that now characterise it were planted.

The tower bore name of Otto von Bismarck until 1946, when it was renamed Háj u Aše.

[5] Departure points for a visit of the mountain are the town of Aš and the village of Podhradí.

A blue signed walking trail joins both locations, running over the summit of the mountain.
