It is situated in the southern part of the municipality, nestled within the Swabian Jura (Schwäbische Alb) region.

Geographically, Felsenbach is surrounded by forests and meadows, with numerous hiking trails offering access to the natural beauty of the Swabian Jura. The name "Felsenbach" itself likely derives from "Felsen" (rocks) and "Bach" (stream), suggesting a connection to the rocky terrain and watercourses in the vicinity.
