Crailsheim lies on both sides of the Jagst in the wide step-edge bay named after her, Crailsheimer Bucht, which the river cleared when it left the Keuperbergland in the south and east on the border to the Gäu landscape of the south-eastern Hohenlohe and Haller plains. The river then continues in the Kocher-Jagst plains. The framing mountains east of the bay, called the Crailsheimer Hardt, are part of the Frankenhöhe. The western and southwestern edges are formed by the high forests around the Burgberg (534 m), which are morphologically separated to the south and followed by the Ellwangen Mountains, both parts of the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains. All of the natural areas mentioned have a share in the urban area.[
