The Benkner Büchel is a free-standing molasse hill in the Lit plain, with a correspondingly beautiful view. There is a transmitter mast at the highest point (605 m). Entrances and exits on gravel roads, further down also trails.

The Benkner Büchel is a molasses hill that was rounded off by glaciers from the Ice Age, a so-called round hump.
On the Benkner Büchel there is also Maria Bildstein and the Meinrad chapel, alongside individual houses and courtyards. At the top (605m) is a large transmission tower (5G, radio and TV). Wide and narrow forest trails, individual downhill trails.
