The mountain slopes in the FFH area are overgrown with a woodruff beech forest. On the limestone lawn below you can find an "orchid abundance".

The Muschelkalk Rücken with its fossils belongs to the Nordwaldecker sub-region of the Grenzwelten Geopark , which also includes the Alt-Rhoden desert .
use
From 1967 the Belgian armed forces operated the missile position 62A HAWK for air defense, which was first replaced by the German armed forces in the 1990s and then given up in 2002. The paved areas and open pastures with a farm have remained. After the area was made accessible, an elevation of 5 m was raised on the former radar hill, on which the panoramic view Quastholle was built in the spring of 2006. The quast is the western end of the Diemeltaler Butterfly Trail, which was laid out in 2020. This networked 20 lime grasslands over 152 kilometers.
The kite festival, a live role-playing game with up to 5000 participants, takes place every year on the quast .
traffic
The federal motorway 44 leads over the southwest slope of the Quast with the parking lot Am Quast and the nearby junction Diemelstadt . This crosses under the federal highway 252 , which is laid west of the mountain and runs from Rhoden to Scherfede. District road 1 leads over the southeast slope between Rhoden and Wethen. Next to the K 1 bridge over the A 44, a road branches off that leads to a parking lot on the southern slope at the edge of the forest, from which you can walk up the mountain.
