Because better-known summits like the Brotjacklriegel or the Geißlstein are in its immediate vicinity, the unimposing Aschenstein is less often visited. No waymarked paths lead up to its rocky summit with its small summit cross and hunting hut, but it is quickly reached from the Geißlstein over trackless terrain. Because trees have grown on the southern side, there are no longer any views on that side.
