The Hirschenstein summit with its 1,095 m, its exposed location and the 7 m high lookout tower offers a view that is unique in the Bavarian Forest. In the east it extends from the Großer Arber to the Dreisessel, in the south you can see the area from Deggendorf to Straubing and in the west to the Gallner. On favorable days, the Alps from the Dachstein to the Zugspitze can be seen unhindered.
