오덴탈‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪10‬개의 산 정상

From the Lüderich hill, which rises to around 260 meters, the view stretches far across the Bergisches Land region. To the west, the landscape opens up towards the Cologne Lowland, where the hills gradually give way to flatter terrain. On clear days, you can even see the Cologne Cathedral. Traces of the mining that once took place around the Lüderich are still visible.

Beautiful and idyllic. You wouldn't believe that Cologne and Leverkusen are so close.

The summit is located in a quiet, wooded area and is rather unspectacularly marked – but there is a bench for a short break, and the surroundings invite you to linger.

From here you can race down to Immekeppel

The Cathedral and Colonius are clearly visible and provide some guidance for identifying the other more noticeable buildings.

On the way through the Königsforst, a forest area in the south of the city, which is particularly suitable as a shady hiking area in summer, depending on the route you take, you will also come to the highest point within the city of Cologne, the so-called Monte after its "discoverers". Troodelöh (Troost, Dedden & Löhmer). The fact that the forestry administration has removed the summit cross placed here can be classed as sacrilegious... a stone boulder now marks the - in itself unspectacular - measuring point.

From here you can see over Cologne to behind the lignite-fired power plants
