The 1805.2 meter high board fork forms a striking vantage point at the end of the north-western ridge of the Hohe Brett . It drops steeply over 500 meters on two flanks. On the fork there is a wooden summit cross with a summit book and a trigonometric measuring point. Due to the exposed location, you have an extensive panoramic view of the Berchtesgaden valley basin. The view extends from the Hagengebirge over the Steinerne Meer with the Schönfeldspitze and the Großer Hundstod to the Untersberg and the Kehlsteinhaus . Parts of the Königsee lake , which is about 1200 meters below , can also be seen.

Since autumn 2010, one of the eight transmission systems has been located just above the fork, which serve as pseudolites in the GALILEO test and development environment (GATE) of the European satellite navigation system Galileo to simulate navigation satellites.

The Brettgabel can only be reached from the valley via an unofficial, unmarked, often steep or stony path from the Hinterbrand car park, which is not shown on many maps . This path branches off unsigned about 50 meters after the barrier on the forest path in the direction of Jenneralmen into the forest, then leads over an alpine meadow and subsequent rubble and rocky terrain to the Brettgabel. Allow around two hours for the ascent. Surefootedness is required, and a few short climbing sections of the first degree of difficulty have to be mastered. If you follow the beaten path at a junction just before the lookout point further south, you will climb the Hohe Brett in about two hours. The board fork can be linked to tours on the Hohe Göll or the Hohe Brett.
