The mountain has shaped regional development since early settlement times and served as a natural boundary between different Styrian communities over centuries. This geographic role influenced the cultural and economic structure of the surrounding regions.

The mountain serves as a gathering place for nearby communities, where residents regularly venture out on group hikes to explore the landscape. For locals, this spot represents a cherished connection to their Alpine surroundings and outdoor traditions.

Multiple access points provide different route options up the mountain, with marked trails making navigation straightforward. During winter months from December through March, bring special gear as snow significantly changes conditions and difficulty.
