On the peak of the mountain is a 30-m-high tower which, reaching above the surrounding trees, offers a beautiful prospect, in clear weather as far as the Alps.

The historical significance and the comfortable ascent argued in favor of the Oberhohenberg, however finally—particularly because of status as the highest mountain of the Swabian Alps—the decision was made to build on the Lemberg.

Since the cost of a stone tower was estimated at 24,000 marks, a substantially cheaper building of iron was chosen.

This microwave link, which would not have been possible on a direct path, served to augment the existing terrestrial telephone lines.

After these were replaced by fiber optic cables, the microwave link became obsolete and the antennas were dismantled in 2005.

To the west lies the Black Forest, whose highest points are to be recognized: Feldberg in the southwest and Hornisgrinde in the northwest.

At closer hand, the northwestern escarpment of the Swabian Alps (the Albtrauf) up to the Hohenzollern castle is to be seen, in the north the upper Neckar valley, the Schönbuch natural park, and in very good conditions even the Stuttgart TV tower, about 90 km away.

From Wilflingen, the summit can be attained in approximately one and a half hours, climbing about 400 m. The trail crosses fields before entering the forest.

The final climb of the trail is narrow and steep, gaining about 130 m. The Albverein maintains a shelter hut on the summit of the Lemberg.

It had an area of 6 × 3.5 m2 and was a log cabin construction made from round timbers on a concrete foundation.
