At the summit is the Plattenstein, an interesting rock formation with a summit cross and view southwards to the higher Brotjacklriegel. A little further below is the Fürberg Chapel, which can be reached by walking along a way of the cross from Untermitterdorf. The Fürberg can be climbed on various footpaths in a short time from the small villages of Raindorf, Untermitterdorf or Berneck.
