At the top of the hill, at the height of the signpost for Altenalp and Schäfler, there is a small grassy summit, on which one stands directly next to the Steckenberg summit. The view from up there is lovely and worth pausing to just enjoy the view !!! Up here you can enjoy the view on both sides and in the direction Altenalptürme, Schäfler, Seealpsee, Marwees up to the Hohen Kasten etc., whether one is the Lötzlialpsattel and in the other direction the Mesmer, Ageteplatte, Altmann up to the Säntisspitz.
A little further down there is another vantage point, from which the view of the Seealpsee is even more beautiful than the upper one.

Here you have not just one, but two beautiful views of two quite different landscapes in the two directions. A short detour is worthwhile even if you don't come by here anyway (e.g. on the way from Altenalp to Schäfler).

Small pass crossing on the Höhenweg, first up, then down again ...
