    Tips

    February 7, 2021

    Today, Monte Troodelöh is part of numerous route suggestions in the local hiking and Cologne literature and is considered a sight, although it has neither a view nor a gastronomic infrastructure to offer. It is included in the Cologne Eifel Association's circular hiking trail.

      The Monte Troodelöh is 118.04 m above sea level. NHN the highest point in the city of Cologne. It is located in the Rath / Heumar district about 1250 meters as the crow flies south of the A 4 on Wolfsweg between the confluence of Pionier-Hütten-Weg and the intersection with Brück-Forsbacher Weg.

          The climb to Monte Troodelöh is always worth it.
          Summit cross and summit book available.
          Coming from the Bergisches Land, the route to Monte Troodelöh is almost all downhill.

            On the way through the Königsforst, a forest area in the south of the city that is particularly suitable as a shady hiking area in summer, depending on the route, you can also reach the highest point in the city of Cologne, the Monte Troodelöh named after its "discoverers" (Troost, Dedden & Löhmer). The fact that the forestry administration has removed the summit cross that was set up here can easily be classified as sacrilege... a stone boulder now marks the - in itself unspectacular - measuring point.
