      The gradient should not be underestimated!

        "The natural forest cell Großer Steinberg is located within the Königsforst in the southeast of Cologne in the urban area of Bergisch Gladbach. The forest area is located in the main natural spatial unit Bergische Heideterrasse (550). The Brück-Forsbacher Weg runs north of the natural forest cell. The Steinbruchsweg borders the forest area to the south and the Jagersweg to the east. The natural forest cell has a size of 45.3 hectares and is thus above the average of 22.5 hectares in North Rhine-Westphalia. The forest area includes the northern slope of the Großer Steinberg, whose hill extends up to 131.5 m above sea level and is located south of the natural forest cell. The 136.3 meter high Mergelsberg borders to the east and the Kleine Steinberg with a height of 97.6 m above sea level runs to the west of the area north of the Selbach. The terrain slopes in an east-west direction. The forest area is located at an altitude of 110-125 m above sea level in the lowland zone, which climatically corresponds to the planar altitude zone. Forecasts for the distribution of tree species are based on the altitude zone, which is an important feature of the suitability of the site in forestry.
        The source area of the Selbach is located within the forest area"
