The ascent of the Rondil brings great views, depending on the weather conditions, to the Taunus in the southwest, over Burg Gleiberg and Vetzberg in the west, Dünsberg and further north over the wooded ridges of Oberwalgern, Marburg and the Ebsdorfer Grund. On the protective wall of the rondile is a plate with directional arrows and the respective information about the geographical conditions.
