    Hiking

    The gallows stood here from around 1530.
    In 1795 all gallows were removed by order of the French garrison.

    Hiking

    The view from the point is really great. You can see over Düren, Jülich, the Erftkreis to Cologne. The Sophienhöhe with the decanter can be seen very well. Unfortunately, the information board is no longer available. You can still see the bench with the information board.
