Summit stone

To mark Heidbrinkgipfels there a five -ton sandstone was set up with strong iron deposits on 24 May 2008, which is typical of the local Wiehengebirge. At the new stone there are two panels; the upper has the Heidbrink than the highest mountain of the Wiehengebirge, the lower panel lists the sponsors. The new stone is not in the same place where previously stood a less spectacular stone, but about 20 meters east thereof; the original stone but was put away in the course of the reorganization.

Transmission tower

About 200 m east of the Heidbrinkgipfels is a transmission tower for round and microwave links. It has a paved access road from the B 239

Viewing and hiking

In the summit region of Heidbrinks is a small open space. Due to the high tree vegetation surrounding the view to the north is blocked; just to the south can be partially seen in the Ravens Mulde.
