The Knogl summit has had a summit cross since 2007 and is located directly on the quality Goldsteig hiking trail, with a good view of the Danube plain. The Knogl became famous in recent years thanks to a hermit living there (Knogl Toni), whose way of life was portrayed in a television program. In the early days, many Englmar residents and other interested people made a pilgrimage to Knogl to visit the hut of the Knoglbauer, as he was unceremoniously called, built at the summit.

The Hirschenstein summit with its 1,095 m, its exposed location and the 7 m high lookout tower offers a view that is unique in the Bavarian Forest. In the east it extends from the Großer Arber to the Dreisessel, in the south you can see the area from Deggendorf to Straubing and in the west to the Gallner. On favorable days, the Alps from the Dachstein to the Zugspitze can be seen unhindered.
