In the vicinity of the Große Kösseine peak is a large granite blockfield with an area of which has been placed under protection. Various rock formations (the Kleine Kösseine, the Großer and Kleiner Haberstein, the Burgsteinfelsen, Mühlstein, Püttnersfel and Jakobifels) are protected natural monuments. The view of the twin peaks of Kleine and Große Kösseine (Little and Great Kösseine), visible from almost all sides, is quite striking.
