The railway line of the Zittau narrow-gauge railway to Jonsdorf is located on the western slope . The road from Hain to Jonsdorf runs south of the mountain . From this, the old trade route "Leipaer Straße" branches off to the north at the southern end of the mountain, which touches the mountain in the east.
