EN: This place on the "Lötschberger Südrampe" hiking trail offers an excellent view of the village of Raron, which is located to the south down in the Rhone Valley.

The Gothic church on the old castle hill, where the grave of the world-famous poet Rainer Maria Rilke is located, is particularly visible. Behind it, on the other side of the river, is the airfield. A little further west you can see the valley station of the aerial lift to Unterbäch
