Hiking

Just 25 meters west of the northwest corner of the ring wall, a burial mound, still about 20 meters in diameter, is visible, possibly dating from the Iron Age. A small field of burial mounds is also located in the woods at the eastern entrance to the ridge of the Kleiner Kordigast, about 60 meters west of the saddle on the north side of the footpath.
