    Here, at the highest point of the Sophienhöhe, a 40-meter-high wooden observation tower called "Waldtänzerin" (Forest Dancer) is planned to be built in the coming years. Completion is scheduled for 2029.

    The tower will form a central station on the so-called Summit Route, a signposted circular trail connecting the planned visitor and information center with the high points of the observation tower, Höller Horn, and Jülicher Kopf.
