The viewpoint offers a pavilion with several benches and, secured by a long railing, allows a view of the Saar Valley and the bird cliffs. The bird rock itself can be reached via a narrow path in about 100 meters, but is NOT secured and climbing the rock is prohibited during the breeding season.

The actual rock is closed because of the eponymous residents.
