    When you climb this small hill, you can see the outskirts of Straelen.
    In summer the view is severely limited by the foliage of the trees.

      A Stations of the Cross is also installed on the side of the way to the Kalvarienbergkuppe.

        Wilhelm Bullen created the highest point in Straelen here more than 300 years ago. In 1697 he entered the convent of the nearby Augustinian Canons Monastery. With the abbot's permission, he built a fish pond and a vegetable garden. To do this, he lifted the upper layers of sand from the ground and, with great diligence, piled them up to form this mountain. In the 19th century, increasing piety took advantage of the mountain and built a calvary on it to commemorate Chisti Leiden on the Mount of Olives and Golgotha.
