    The Sophienhöhe is located - visible from afar overhanging the Jülich Börde - directly north of the Hambach opencast mine around 6 km east of Jülich. While most of it belongs to its urban area, its north-east part is in the municipality of Titz and its east and south part in that of Niederzier. Most of it is in the area of the original (now mostly cleared) Hambacher forest, a forest area between the towns of Stetterich, Hambach and Alt-Lich-Steinstrasse.

    In this section you can cycle around the artificial elevation very well.
