A sign at the site explains that the Celts considered trees important living beings and attributed special properties to them. The Tree of Life Circle takes up this concept and presents different tree species, each symbolically assigned to a specific time of year, similar to a Celtic tree calendar.

This spot is called Bergmannsruh on newer maps. It's certainly a beautiful spot with a view of the water.

Personally, the term "mammoth forest" seems a bit exaggerated to me, as there are a few isolated redwood trees among the other trees. Nevertheless, the path, which deviates from the usual wide paths on Sophienhöhe, was a nice little change.

Of course, this is not a historical original, but merely a replica. However, given that there was a westward connection from the Roman town of Acca (today: Cologne), the Via Belgica, it is quite conceivable that there would have been comparable towers in the vicinity of today's Sophienhöhe.

The now tall trees that were planted on the "Sophienhöhe" spoil heap as part of the recultivation project block hikers' clear views of the surrounding landscape on almost all trails. A few clearings allow a visual axis, allowing one to let their gaze wander into the distance.
