    Tips

    The spoil dump, located south of Grevenbroich in the Rhenish lignite mining area, is known to many as the "Mont Ventoux of the Rhineland". Its exposed location and the three possible driveways make the Vollrather Höhe a popular destination for cyclists in the region. In addition, there is no other way to go uphill here far and wide.

    The 1,700 meter long approach from Allrath to the hill is perhaps less attractive. But it offers more cycling ambience, because a mountain time trial takes place here every year. The increase is definitely not to be underestimated: it is irregular. A short descent pretends that it is now done, but behind the curve it goes uphill again until the plateau is reached.

    Incidentally, it is named after the Vollrath estate, which stood here until 1953.

      I recommend approaching the mountain from Neuenhausen. The side is a bit steeper, but also more entertaining due to the curves. In addition, the road surface is not the best.
      Especially in the upper area, the asphalt ripples and breaks up in places, which slows you down on the descent.
      The descent towards Allrath compensates for this.

        One of the most popular hills in the Cologne area. Here you can meet racing cyclists practicing on the ramp almost at any time of the day. But it is also very easy to drive on, very broad and hardly any bumpy spots.
