It is one of the few still recognisable volcanoes of the Heldburger Gangschar and gives its name to the ''Zeilberge'', which are the highest part of the Itz-Baunach Hills that are geologically part of the actual Haßberge to the west, but are separated from them by the Baunach valley.
The extinct volcano is 16 million years old and is formed of nephelinite.<ref name="Oberleinleiter">[https://www.gdgh.de/berichte/b13/oberleinleiter_pop_1.pdf Der Vulkan von Oberleinleiter: Spuren eines Maars in der Nördlichen Frankenalb] (pdf; 2.6 MB) – Gottfried Hofbauer, NHG Nürnberg (pdf, 2.47 MB)</ref> It has been reduced in height due to extraction from a basalt quarry.
== Tourism == An adventure trail runs around the basalt quarry. The ''Haus am Zeilberg'' is also a popular venue for events.
