At the top of the Bungsberg, there is a 179-metre high transmission tower, known as the Bungsberg Transmitter. This tower is used for FM and TV broadcasting. There is also a 102-metre high observation tower, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. In winter, the Bungsberg is a popular location for sledding and other winter sports.
