The natural monument is easy to climb via a staircase. In the Advent season, the forest Christmas takes place here with numerous visitors.

The imposing rock castle is easy to climb via a staircase. Although designated as a natural monument, climbing on the Hackelstein is allowed.

The imposing rock formation near the Fuchsmühler Forsthaus is not only a popular and easily accessible hiking destination. Every year in December, the granite group is also an atmospheric venue for the forest Christmas. To commemorate the Battle of the Wood, every ten years there is also the Festival, which was written especially for the occasion. Then the conflict between the Fuchsmühlern and the Amberger Infantry Regiment was reenacted 124 years ago in front of the rock backdrop.
