The Hohe Asten is located on the eastern slope of the Rehleitenkopf about 200 meters below the summit.

The Hohe Asten is only accessible for visitors on foot. A hiking trail with a steep ascent leads from Flintsbach to the Hohe Asten, another from Bichlersee near Niederaudorf , each after a 1½ hour walk. In winter, the descent to Flintsbach is popular as a toboggan run , but it is also dangerous, especially in icy snow, as some crosses along the way announce.
