There is another piste on the southwestern side of the mountain. Its valley station is on the Black Forest High Road near Hundseck.

On the western edge of the summit plateau stands the Mehliskopf Tower (Mehliskopfturm). This 11-metre-high observation tower was built in 1880 by the Black Forest Club and has been renovated several times since. It has a stone plinth with a wooden, covered, observation platform.[2]
