At the Höller Horn on the Sophienhöhe, nutrient-poor sand, clayey material and gravel were deliberately dumped. The site was also not recultivated. Today the natural spread of plants and animals is being researched here. The tower with the weather vane is modeled on a late medieval winding tower of an ore mine.
