The Kleiner Auersberg lies within the Wildflecken Training Area, established in 1938. The entire terrain is a military out-of-bounds area. The only opportunity for civilians to climb the Kleiner Auersberg is on the two Volkswandertage (people's walking days), which take place annually on a summer weekend. Due to the good views, usually one of the prescribed routes leads to the summit. A good two kilometres east-northeast rises the slightly higher and densely wooded Großer Auersberg. Neither should be confused with the Auersberg near Hilders in the Hessian part of the Rhön.
