A rather lonely spot on the Rechelkopf, due to the long approach.

Due to the trees that have grown so much, the view is currently almost impossible. The path from the east is difficult to see and follow because it's overgrown. It's easily accessible from Rechelkopf, but there's no sign at the fork in the path to the summit.

Preferably take the route via Sulzkopf, if you are coming from Gaißach, as the standard route recommended by komoot is very muddy.

Not a bad spot for camping; there are toilets in the campervan area right next door. The water there is "not drinkable." It's charming, with a small table. Quite a few walkers and cyclists use the small path.

Beautifully situated, but unfortunately not managed. From here, the ascent begins along a meadow path to the Rechelkopf.

As of April 2025, the area surrounding the forest has been largely deforested—it looks like a battlefield, and the forest roads are deeply damaged by heavy machinery...
