Tips
In the vicinity of this vantage point on the "Galgennück" should have been once a court place in former times.
At an altitude of 465 meters above sea level, the view extends far to the north over the south-eastern tip of the Lower Rhine Bay, the Zülpicher Börde. The Boerde owes its high soil fertility to the so-called loess, which was cultivated here in the last ice age and deposited on the slopes of the Eifel. The landscape also has a very favorable climate, so that large parts of the Zülpicher Börde are used for agriculture.
