    Tips

    March 1, 2018

    The Glessener Höhe is an artificially constructed hill. It is a former, now recultivated, spoil heap (tipping site) of the surrounding brown coal open-cast mines.

      The Glessener Höhe is an overburden of brown coal mining, which was created and recultivated between 1955 and 1970. The steep slopes are wooded with poplar, beech, birch, oak and spruce trees.



      At the summit cross are 204 m above sea level. NN reached. Until the emergence of the Sophienhöhe, which was heaped up from 1978, this was the highest point between Eifel and Bergisches Land.

        Hard to believe, but there is even a summit book.
