Since 2014, the Steinsbörnchen can be reached via a nature and history trail. Other interesting sites near and on Klusenberg hill include Burg Altena castle, the chapel ruins, the Hexentanzplatz ("Witch dancing place") and the masoned well "wrong Steinsbörnchen", which is sometimes confused with the real one.
