It is accessible on a short footpath which is steep in places or with the aid of a chairlift.

Immediately to the south is a neighbouring peak, the 1,348 m high Zwiesel (also called the Zwieselberg).

During the Würm glaciation the alpentor of the Isar valley glacier was formed between the Blomberg and the Rechelkopf.

It was here that the glacier broke through at a height of about 1,000 m above sea level (NN).

The 5.5-km-long winter toboggan run, built in 1903, is popular and very busy at weekends.
