## Geography

The village lies in the valley of the small river [Suhl](/source/Suhl_(Werra)) running from south-east to north-west. The landscape around Marksuhl belongs to the [East Hesse Highlands](/source/East_Hesse_Highlands), more precisely to the [Salzungen Werra highlands](/source/Salzungen_Werra_Upland). The boundary of the local subdistrict runs to the east on the 461 metre-high mountain *Milmesberg*, which is part of the aforementioned highlands and from which you can enjoy a beautiful view of the [Thuringian Forest](/source/Thuringian_Forest) and [Wartburg](/source/Wartburg) Castle, which sits enthroned 8 km north-east of the Milmesberg. The landscape to the south is a large wooded area, the *Frauenseer Forst*. There is also a lake with a floating island, the Hautsee. The municipality encompasses several other mountains.[1]

The [Suhl](/source/Suhl_(Werra)) River and its tributaries constitute the natural water system in the subdistrict.
