    The tower bears a weather vane inscribed with "Monte Sophia" and, together with the Roman Tower, is one of the prominent viewpoints on the reclaimed Sophienhöhe, which was once used as a spoil heap for the Hambach open-cast mine.

    The HöllerHorn reaches approximately 291.5 meters above sea level, making it one of the highest points on the Sophienhöhe, but it lies just below the summit level of the Roman Tower (301.8 meters above sea level).

    Like a dune area - The tower with weathervane is a simplified replica of a late medieval mining tower of an ore mine.

    Large parts of this sandy area still lie fallow today. A wooden tower with a weather vane is set up here, which is modeled on a late medieval winding tower of an ore mine.
