Location[]
The Heuberg lies on the territory of Forchtenstein in the Austrian state of Burgenland, northeast of the Hochwolkersdorf hamlet of Hollerberg and northwest of the village of Rosalienhäuser in the Forchtenstein cadastral municipality of Neustift an der Rosalia. The border with Lower Austria runs past the summit only about 150 metres to the west and south. To the northwest is the village of Heuberg in the cadastral municipality of Ofenbach in the municipality of Lanzenkirchen, where there is a forestry training centre for the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna. The Heuberg's neighbouring summits are the Auerberg (740 m) and the (700 m) to the south. The Wulka rises on the northeastern mountainside of the Heuberg.

Sport[]
