On the western boundary of the Verbandsgemeinde of Hachenburg – a kind of collective municipality – in the northwestern Westerwaldkreis lies the community of Borod in a side valley of the river Wied. The community stretches from the bonemill on the Wied in a southwesterly direction. Borod belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Hachenburg, whose seat is in the like-named town.
The community has an area of 314 ha, of which 101 ha is wooded and 272 ha is given over to agriculture, The rest is the built-up area. The community's elevation ranges between 248 and 336 m above sea level. The yearly average temperature is roughly 8 °C. Yearly average precipitation is 900 mm. The high proportion of wooded land guarantees a great wealth of water. The landscape's diversity with its extensive forests, many hedgerows and groves and good water-conducting vegetation form the best conditions for a high quality of life, recreation close to nature and nature-oriented hiking.

To reach the Autobahninterchanges at Mogendorf (25 km) and Dierdorf (28 km), drivers take Bundesstraßen 8 and 413. Bundesstraße 8 also affords direct access to the Autobahn interchange at Hennef on the A 560 (AS 60) (50 km).
Public institutions
Public institutions are concentrated around the former school whose tower can be seen far afield. Right near this stand the primary school and the community house, in which is also found the fire brigade's equipment house. A bus loop with a waiting building rounds out the community institutions in the middle of the community. A qualified village renewal concept guarantees positive development in both the public and private sectors.
