On the German side of the lightly wooded Ahornbüchsenkopf are the alpine meadows of the Lower (Untere) and Upper Ahornalm (Obere Ahornalm). In the latter is a mountain inn, the Ahornkaser (1,520 m), and the top of a ski lift. Between the Ahornbüchsenkopf and the Hoher Göll on the crest of the Eckerfirst which is reached via the Ecker Saddle (Eckersattel, 1,413 m) is the mountain hut of the Purtschellerhaus (1,692 m).
