The Millicher Halde is a tailings dump of the Sophia-Jacoba coal mine in Hückelhoven. The volume of the 70 meter high heap is 10 million cubic meters of overburden on an area of 32 hectares.

In 2008, a staircase of around 120 m and 400 steps was built to the vantage point, as well as hiking trails and vantage points. An eleven meter high steel "staircase to heaven" as a viewing platform on the heap offers views over the Jülich Börde to the edge of the Eifel and over the Rur lowland.
