Location and area edit

At the summit of the pass is a car park for walkers; about 200 metres to the north is the Büchereck Hut.

North of the summit is the Scheibeneck (653.3 m above NHN) and to the south is the Hundseckle (790.3 m above NHN). Both north and south of the summit there are Baroque Schanzen from the late 17th century.[1][2]

The West Way, part of the E1 European long distance path, crosses the road at the Büchereck.[3]
