They lie southeast of Schwäbisch Hall, west of Sulzdorf, Obersontheim, Bühlertann, Bühlerzell and Adelmannsfelden and extend as far as the Blinde Rot river, northwest of Abtsgmünd.

Untergröningen, Sulzbach-Laufen, Gaildorf, Westheim and Michelbach an der Bilz lie immediately west of the forested upland region.

To the southeast the Limpurg Hills run with the very narrow and long Unterjura Plateau of the Büchelberg Ridge down to the mouth of the Blinde Rot.

Better known, however, is the Einkorn (510 m), south of Hessental, which rises above the Hohenloher-Haller Plain, and forms a prominent, westward-running spur of the northern edge of the forest region.

Several summits in the following list of high points in the Limpurg Hills (organized by height in metres above sea level (NHN)), only rise slightly above the very flat plateau of the larger western chain of the hills and, when seen from outside the range, may scarcely be viewed as individual peaks.
