Name

When looking at the mountain from Immenstadt, the sun at noon is right on top of the peak, giving it its name "Mittag" based on the German word for noon (mid day).

Routes

There are multiple Hiking trails that lead up to the peak of the mountain.

Alternative routes

There is a ski lift that goes from Immenstadt to the top, with one interruption approximately in the middle of the mountain. During the winter, more ski lifts open for skiing. A 5.1 km long toboggan run leads from the peak of the mountain to Immenstadt.
