Local inhabitants maintain traditional hiking ceremonies on the Königsberg, marking seasonal changes with gatherings at different points of the mountain.
Several marked trails lead to the summit from different directions with varying difficulty levels. Sturdy footwear and weather-resistant clothing are recommended, as conditions can change quickly at higher elevations.
