    The northern region in the district of Düren is a clear example of the far-reaching landscape and structural change caused by opencast mining.


    The Sophienhöhe was created by opencast mining. On this former spoil heap there is now a well-developed network of hiking and cycling trails, which invites you to leisurely walks as well as longer and more demanding hiking and cycling tours. On the route to the highlights of the Sophienhöhe are the Römerturm, the Höller Horn, the Lebensbaumkreis, the weather radar and the stone compass (tourismus.kreis-dueren.de/wandern/alle-wanderwege/a -to-the-highlights-on-the-sophienhoehe)
