The "summit" itself is not very spectacular and is marked by a stone stele (trigonometry point), where a single rest bench is available.

Several deforested parcels provide a little view of the Middle Rhine Valley.
But the large windthrow area east of the summit is more interesting.

Hiking

As a lookout rather moderate. Approximately 11 km from Bingen even increase through the Binger forest. Ideal if you like to sprint mountains
