Hiking

The several million trees that were planted and are now growing on Sophienhöhe, a waste dump from the open-cast mine, often block the view of the surrounding landscape. Here, one of the few clearings in the forest opens up a view toward Jülich.

Hiking

The Sophienhöhe rises with the character of a small ridge, which clearly shapes the landscape in the otherwise flat Jülich area, an average of 200 m above the surrounding area.

Hiking

From the Sophienhöhe in clear weather you have beautiful views of the surrounding areas, Julich with its citadel is remarkable.
