 The Stübenwasen would not be treeless just on account of its height; the treeline here, about 100 kilometres north of the nearest north Alpine peak could be expected to lie at about 1,650–.The highlands are used in summer as cattle pasture, in winter as a ski area.The Stübenwasen is thus well developed for tourism, although it is not accessible by car, like for example the Feldberg or the Kandel.
