The Karlisberg offers a wonderful view. However, you have to walk a few meters towards the ridge so that you can enjoy it. The Karlisberg is on the Fringeli-Retemberg route and is just a “passage point” when biking. But the short stop is worth it.

Brunneberg "summit": At this point you have reached the highest point on the Blue Trail. There is also a memorial from the First World War.
