Beyond the romance of knights and historic walls, the rugged mountain with its gorge forests and surrounding meadows is a valuable natural area that is protected. Felsig und zum Teil ausgesprochen steil ist die Erhebung mit der alten Burg an der Spitze. Eine 20 Meter hohe Felswand wird auch gerne von Kletterern für ihren Sport in Anspruch genommen. Es sind selten gewordene, naturnahe Schluchtwälder, die das Landschaftsbild bestimmen. Nach Norden dominieren Eschen und Bergahorn, im Süden finden sich die wärmeliebenden Sommerlinden, Feldahorn und Mehlbeeren. Da die Wälder am Burgberg kaum wirtschaftlich genutzt werden, präsentieren sie sich dem Betrachter sehr natürlich mit einem hohen Anteil an Tot- und Altholz. Richtung Süden, der Enns zugewandt bestehen außerdem wertvolle, ungenutzte Wiesengebiete, auf denen seltene Pflanzen zunehmend einen wertvollen Lebensraum finden. **Public transport:** The Ennstalbahn runs between Linz and Weißenbach-St. Gallen.
