From this hill you have a beautiful view of the Benediktenwand. The large number of benches almost always allows a "seat in the first row". When the weather is nice, there is always a lot going on up there, as many hikers make their way to the Ilkahöhe. In the evenings you can enjoy the peace and quiet and watch one or the other piece of game from the nearby forests.
