The mostly unwooded hilltop with a gently sloping slope offers a wide view. Ascents from several directions as well as interesting circular routes are possible.

Newly erected summit cross on the Himmeldunk. At the cross there are rest benches and a list of donors who made the construction possible.

Recently, you can now also collect a stamp for the summit pass from the Bischofsheim Tourist Information Center at Himmeldunk (6 stamps must be collected within 10 days to receive a certificate).
