ベルクハイムの天然記念物・トップ20

The tower bears a weather vane inscribed with "Monte Sophia" and, together with the Roman Tower, is one of the prominent viewpoints on the reclaimed Sophienhöhe, which was once used as a spoil heap for the Hambach open-cast mine. The HöllerHorn reaches approximately 291.5 meters above sea level, making it one of the highest points on the Sophienhöhe, but it lies just below the summit level of the Roman Tower (301.8 meters above sea level).

Large parts of this sandy area still lie fallow today. A wooden tower with a weather vane is set up here, which is modeled on a late medieval winding tower of an ore mine.

Beautiful lake, still pretty empty in the morning

Swimming is unfortunately forbidden and unfortunately you only rarely have a view of Lake Pescher, but a beautiful area and the rare views make up for it.

Great view from up here

Great route and hardly any car traffic

A view of the Kasterer See is worthwhile at any time of the year. Especially in autumn, when the colors of the leaves start to play

One of the many old gravel dredgings; many kilometers of motorway and the concrete of the brutal concrete barracks from the 70s and 80s come from here. Neglected for years, they have reverted to a biotope that is now indispensable as a leisure oasis in this densely populated area.
