The path to the east leads to a single trail, which is easy to ride - except when the loggers are at work (e.g. in Jan. 25). The increasingly overgrown path to the north will probably become history.

Cozy summit with a view in one direction. Plenty of seating and even wooden sun loungers. Below the panorama panel is an oblong US mailbox in which you will find an old army pair of binoculars for exploring the vastness.

"Summit" of Nieselberg 718 m, but lies in the forest, no view. The path from the west is easy to drive (steep in places). The path to the north is completely overgrown with blackberries and firs (see photo), it's a total mess to get through here, but it's not impossible (the path is basically there). I don't know the path to the east, but it could be OK? (according to the map, it's a dead end)

Here you have the only good view on the Wilket-Gratweg, but only to the south-east to south-west, and partly limited by trees and bushes. Cool wooden sculptures and berths are provided.
