During a period of reclamation, this point on the artificial mountain "Sophienhöhe" (a spoil heap from an open-cast mine) was the highest point, and a summit cross was erected here in 1981. The cross still exists, but since the mountain has continued to grow due to further lignite mining and the corresponding landfills, it is no longer the highest point on the site. Now follows a text in memory of Pope Francis, who died today (Easter Monday 2024). In the meditation on the Stations of the Cross with the Holy Father – on Good Friday 2024 in the Roman Colosseum – Pope Francis invited us to allow ourselves to be gazed upon by Jesus on the cross: "We walk our usual paths, and you come to us. Your eyes look into our hearts. (...) Jesus is your name, and truly, "God saves" through you. The God of Abraham who calls, the God of Isaac who cares, the God of Jacob who blesses, the God of Israel who liberates: in your gaze, Lord, ... lies a whole revelation. In your steps as we leave the city, we see our departure to a new land. You came to change the world: for us, that means changing direction, seeing the good you left behind, and letting the memory of your gaze continue in our hearts. (Pope Francis)

Beautiful relief in the rest hut 👍

the memorial plaque is still there but the information about the area has disappeared and the display is empty so it's not really worth going here

Great for a little rest with a roof

The place exudes a pleasant tranquility

Great area 💪 highly recommended, I'll be back again, no question
