The Wallberg has made history as the starting point for large distance flights of paragliders and hang-gliders. The Wallberg toboggan run is Germany's longest winter toboggan run. The Wallberg race on the Wallbergstraße, one of the best-known automobile mountain races in the 1960s, has not been held for some time for ecological reasons.
The ascent from the Wallbergbahn valley station near Rottach-Egern leads over a saddle to the left past the Setzberg (1,706 m) to the mountain station of the Wallbergbahn. The Wallberg panorama restaurant is located 1,623 m above sea level, 30 minutes walking below the summit.
The transmitter Wallberg is on the mountain.
