The summit cross Schwarzeck offers a great view of the mountains of the Bavarian Forest. The cross itself is also worth seeing, and the path to it, part of the Goldsteig, is also very beautiful. Nearby there is another viewpoint (also belongs to Schwarzeck) which also offers a great view of the other side. Here on the Großer and Kleiner Arber and into the valley.

The Richard Wagner Head is part of the Bodenmaiser Riegel, one of four sub-peaks of the Großer Arber. Seen from the side, it is shaped like a head. Whether one can recognize the features of the composer Richard Wagner here, we leave it to the imagination of the individual.
