There is no way to the Burgstall. The trees are light with good orientation, the level of the paths around the mountain is only about 30 hm. Without problems one runs preferably simply over the north / south aligned reef.

"Medieval castle stables"
Source: Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of MonumentsThe small Burgstall Spitzenberg is the remainder of an unknown abandoned medieval hill fort. Nothing is known about this small castle until today, neither who built it once, who was sitting on it or why it was destroyed. Today, only one ring ditch around the peak has been preserved from the object.
