Edermünde lies in the north of the Schwalm-Eder district not far southwest of Kassel. This is where the river Eder empties into the river Fulda. The constituent community of Besse is nestled in the Langenberge range that rises to the west.
The community consists of the centres of Besse, Grifte, Haldorf and Holzhausen am Hahn.
Edermünde is surrounded by four neighbouring communities:
The basalt knoll offers an outstanding view of the surrounding area. The path up to the plateau was built anew by Holzhausen citizens in the years 1999 and 2000 and is in good hiking condition.
