The Hochkar summit cross is definitely worth a visit. If you're not up for the climb, you can get there from the lift station on a fairly easy path. The view is wonderful, and if you're lucky, there won't be too many people at the summit. ;-) The summit book is in a container a bit away from the cross—even this is pretty to look at against the blue sky.

Beautiful summit cross - good footwear, which unfortunately is not the case for many hikers here, as many go up by train. However, the way to the summit is very rocky and rubble.
