There is a beautiful panoramic view from here. On the mountain there is also a chapel dedicated to Mary with a rest area.

In 1795, the small village of Penzenreuth suffered extensive damage from a fire. The owner of a farm that was spared from the blaze erected this chapel, surrounded by linden trees, in gratitude.
