Geologically the Hate Mountains belong to the Keuper; the ridge is the extension of the Steigerwalds and is separated from it by the Main.
The region is eponymous for the Haßberge formation, a geological term for the Keuper soil layer, for which the low mountain range is typical (wikipedia: Hassberge Formation).

The Haßberge Nature Park has existed since 1974 and covers the core region of the low mountain range with an area of 860 km²; the nature park stretches from the Main Valley with Haßfurt in the south to Bad Königshofen in Grabfeld in the northwest.
