The plateau is dominated by rounded Kogeln, including the Brandstetterkogel and the Gipfelstein. Hiking trails such as the Matrassteig or the Donau-Höhen-Rundwanderweg lead past the Viktoria-Adelheid-Schutzhütte . Views are possible to the north ( Waldviertel and Mühlviertel ), west ( Kollmitzberg , Wallsee-Sindelburg , Machland up to the Enns area ) and south (entire foothills of the Alps , Salzkammergut mountains up to Traunstein ).
