Because better-known summits like the Brotjacklriegel or the Geißlstein are in its immediate vicinity, the unimposing Aschenstein is less often visited. No waymarked paths lead up to its rocky summit with its small summit cross and hunting hut, but it is quickly reached from the Geißlstein over trackless terrain. Because trees have grown on the southern side, there are no longer any views on that side.
On an eminence between the Aschenstein and Geißlstein is a lookout rock with a cross. This unnamed spot was called the Little Aschenstein (Kleiner Aschenstein) by Zenting's village council at its meeting on 7 December 2009. On the Little Aschenstein is a small summit cross and a summit register.
