North past the Weiherberg through the hamlets and localities Mittelberg, Grabenhof and Dietges the federal road 458 leads . On the road at the Grabenhöfchen mountain pass ( 685 m ) is the hikers' car park of the same name . In Dietges, the B 458 is crossed by the state road 3068. It is part of the Hochrhönring and runs on the east side of the Weiherberg in the saddle ( 694 m ) between it and the Wasserkuppe. Here the L 3307 branches off, which leads south past Weiherberg through Sieblos and Tränkhof to Poppenhausen. The Abtsroda hikers' car park is also near this junction .
Close to the summit, a common section of the European long-distance hiking trails E3 and E6 runs across the southern slope of the mountain in the area between the Milseburg, Weiherberg, Abtsroda and Wasserkuppe . The mountain is also accessible to tourists by hiking trails of the Rhön Club and a variant of the Hochrhöner . The Enzianhütte , a managed refuge of the German Alpine Club , Fulda section, stands on its northern slope . Apart from the northern slope, the large summit region with a transmission mast is not forested; it offers good prospects especially to the west and east. The mountain is also used as a site for operating model airplanes .
