The highest point of the Jauerling is in the middle of the forest; the summit cross is located at the edge of the forest and is a few minutes away from the highest point.

Of course, the observation deck next to the transmitter is more interesting.

The Red Gate of the old market fortifications of Spitz offers a beautiful view of the market town in front of the Tausendeimerberg mountain. Next to it stands a lovely historic wayside shrine.

The parish church of St. Mauritius in Spitz on the Danube is a Gothic building with three naves and an extended chancel. The local church history dates back to the 10th century. Inside, the beautiful vaults, the magnificent Baroque altars, and the Gothic figures of the apostles are particularly worth seeing. We found the church open.
