The Kleiner Auersberg is only partly wooded and its summit is thus a good viewing point.

In good visibility the views extend as far as the Kreuzberg in the east, Dreistelzberg and Spessart in the southwest as far as the Vogelsberg in the northwest.

The Kleiner Auersberg lies within the Wildflecken Training Area, established in 1938.

The only opportunity for civilians to climb the Kleiner Auersberg is on the two Volkswandertage ("people's walking days"), which take place annually on a summer weekend.

A good two kilometres east-northeast rises the slightly higher and densely wooded Großer Auersberg.
