Tourism

The Wasenkoepfel lies on the French long-distance path, the GR 53. It is also accessible on foot from Oberbronn on the path to the ruins of Château du Grand-Arnsberg (German: Burg Groß Arnsburg) taking about three quarters of an hour. There is an observation tower at the top erected in 1887 by the Vosges Club (Club Vosgien); however its view is now restricted by trees.
