You can reach this summit via multiple marked hiking trails starting from Niederbronn-les-Bains, with different difficulty levels available. Parking is located at the base, making it straightforward for visitors to begin their walk.
On clear days, you can see both French and German lowlands simultaneously from the top, making it a natural viewing point between the two countries. This dual-perspective view often strikes visitors as a memorable aspect of the visit.
