The Hrehberg (576 m) can be reached by bike or via the numerous surrounding hiking trails from Bensheim, Heppenheim or the Lautertal. The mountain bike route HP 1 also passes by here. The striking transmission tower is hidden in the forest. There are plenty of rest areas on the paths around. For example, the nearby Mathildenruhe.
