Geography
Location
Weißenborn lies in the North Hesse Uplands some 8 km (as the crow flies) southeast of Eschwege and abuts a section of the boundary with Thuringia. It is found in the Schlierbachswald, onto which borders the Ringgau (ranges) not far south of the community. Not far southwest of Weißenborn (elevation: 280 m above sea level) stands the Rabenkuppe (514.8 m above sea level), and just under 6 km (as the crow flies) east of the community, on the Thuringian side of the state boundary, is the Heldrastein (503.8 m above sea level).

Weißenborn borders in the north on the town of Treffurt, in the east on the community of Ifta (both in Thuringia’s Wartburgkreis), in the south on the community of Ringgau, in the west on the community of Wehretal and in the northwest on the town of Eschwege (all three in the Werra-Meißner-Kreis).
