There are two ways to the summit (Bärenkopp), I chose the steep route. A bit of a challenge, but I'm happy to have made it.

From the Kaiserberg you have a magnificent view over the Rhine Valley. The cross is enthroned majestically and an information board explains the basalt mining near Linz. The Donatus chapel is a quiet place of worship.

Beautiful, well-kept hiking trails around the Malberg. Goats are currently grazing there to keep the impassable parts free.
