The market town of Sparneck lies at an average height of 560 m above sea level (NN) in the Pfarrbach valley, which forms the larger part of the area. The Saxon Saale river flows through this valley in a northerly direction. Towards the east the 877 metre high Waldstein ridge rises, the source of the Saale is on its slopes. It forms the natural boundary with the neighbouring district of Wunsiedel.
Sparneck is first mentioned 1223 with a person from Sparneck family.
