The Kalkhalde Teuterhof is a unique artificial hill in the Wurmtal valley near Würselen in North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany). It originated as an industrial waste product from chemical production in the region around the beginning of the 20th century. Unlike many other limestone mounds in the Euregion, which are the result of mining, this limestone mound consists of carboniferous limestone (lime-rich residues) from a former soda ash factory, originally established as the Honigmann factory and later part of the Solvaywerke, which ceased production in 1929. In the past, the waste material from the production process was transported via a conduit into the Wurmtal valley and stored there on the slope near the Teuterhof area. The site covers approximately several hectares and forms a characteristic white hill in the landscape, with steep wall fragments up to approximately 10 meters high, which testify to the way in which the limestone was deposited and later partially eroded or reclaimed. Today, the Kalkhalde is a protected area as part of the cultural and natural heritage of the Upper Wurmtal Valley. Although the area itself is generally not open to the public for reasons of protection and safety, it can be experienced along hiking trails as a spectacular, contrasting natural feature, the white Kalkhalde contrasting with the surrounding forests and the dark soil layers of the valley. Ecologically, the Kalkhalde, with its unique composition, supports a characteristic flora that thrives in dry, calcareous soil. Species such as Braunrote Sumpfwurz (Brown Orchid), Rundblättriges Wintergrün (Round-leaved Wintergreen), and Großes Zweiblatt can be found here, as can rare mosses such as Preissia rotundifolia, which are relatively scarce elsewhere in North Rhine-Westphalia. Combined with the surrounding Wurmtal natural landscape, the Kalkhalde Teuterhof forms an interesting landscape and geological monument that demonstrates the intertwining of human industrial history and natural development, and bears silent witness to the 19th- and 20th-century chemical industries in the region.

The spoil heap originates from the former limestone quarrying that took place here for decades and shaped the region's economy. The deposited material is a remnant of this industrial use. After operations ceased, the spoil heap was gradually secured and renaturalized. Today, it is part of the local recreation area and an example of the transformation from an industrially dominated site to a landscape integrated into the surrounding countryside.

Many are also hidden, pay close attention to them, there are also professionals who do not injure themselves directly on the collarbone like I did on the 3.4 ride, but there is something for everyone

There are a lot of blackberry bushes. You need to ride in thick long pants.

This "open land area" in the Brander Wald nature reserve is extremely colorful and species-rich. Highly recommended!

Small trail, interesting to ride at night.
