The now tall trees that were planted on the "Sophienhöhe" spoil heap as part of the recultivation project block hikers' clear views of the surrounding landscape on almost all trails. A few clearings allow a visual axis, allowing one to let their gaze wander into the distance.

The Sophienhöhe is located - visible from afar and towering over the Jülich Börde - directly north of the Hambach opencast mine, around 6 km east of Jülich. While the majority of it belongs to its urban area, its northeastern part is in the municipality of Titz and its eastern and southern parts are in that of Niederzier. Most of it lies in the area of the original (now largely cleared) Hambach Forest, a forest area between the towns of Stetternich, Hambach and Alt-Lich-Steinstrasse.
