A beautiful vantage point. Hornets have moved into the gable, and there's a warning sign posted (as of September 2025). The little creatures are peaceful, though (I'm allergic to wasp and hornet venom), and if you just watch them, nothing will happen.

The Malberg is the site of a former Slavic fortification and probably served as a refuge and had a diameter of about 40 meters. It is a protected archaeological monument. A plaque provides information about the protective castle and a small hut offers the opportunity to rest.
