At 507 m, the Richterhöhe is the highest elevation of the Mönchsberg in Salzburg. The two kennels in the southwest of the Mönchsberg, the upper Falkenzwinger and the lower Bertholdszwinger are part of the historic fortifications of the mountain. They date mainly from the Middle Ages, but are sometimes erroneously called Lodron Zwinger or Paris-Lodron Zwinger after Prince-Archbishop Paris von Lodron (1586–1653). In 1906, the hill of the Upper Zwinger was named Eduard-Richter-Höhe in honour of the geographer, historian and alpinist Eduard Richter (1847–1905), and a monument was erected there in 1907.

At 506 metres, the Karolinenhöhe is the highest elevation of the Mönchsberg in the city of Salzburg. It was named after Karoline Augusta, the fourth wife and widow of Emperor Franz I, who is known in Salzburg as a patron in the social and cultural sphere. From this vantage point, it used to be possible to look south at the Residenz, the residence of the Empress Dowager, and north-west towards Bavaria, the country of origin of Karoline Augusta as the daughter of King Maximilian of Bavaria. Today, this is only possible to a limited extent due to the high tree cover.
