From the top of the Windklang sculpture you have a great view of the Hunsrück and the Eifel. There is also a wooden observation tower on the plateau from which you can look over the southern part of the national park and into Saarland (when the weather is clear, the Schaumberg, for example, is clearly visible). The Saar-Hunsrück Climb and the Summit Rush dream loop pass here.
