On a clear day, the mountain offers a panoramic view in the southern side of the 200 km-wide Alpine chain from the Grünten in the west, across the Wetterstein range with the Zugspitze in the south, to the Chiemgau Alps in the east. Because of its beautiful Alpine view, it is a popular destination for excursions, and it can be seen from 400 different places (towns, villages, hamlets, districts). Three bigger lakes are visible, with the Ammersee in a north-north-east direction. In an east-north-east direction, a small part of Lake Starnberg can be seen, and to the south-east direction the Staffelsee.
