Vollrather Höhe – Cols de Cologne

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The spoil dump, located south of Grevenbroich in the Rhenish lignite mining area, is known to many as the "Mont Ventoux of the Rhineland". Its exposed location and the three possible driveways make the Vollrather Höhe a popular destination for cyclists in the region. In addition, there is no other way to go uphill here far and wide.

The 1,700 meter long approach from Allrath to the hill is perhaps less attractive. But it offers more cycling ambience, because a mountain time trial takes place here every year. The increase is definitely not to be underestimated: it is irregular. A short descent pretends that it is now done, but behind the curve it goes uphill again until the plateau is reached.

Incidentally, it is named after the Vollrath estate, which stood here until 1953.

Ascent to Vollrather Höhe from Neuenhausen

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A classic! Mountain category HC in the Rhein-Erft district. No hairpin bend follows the next. But definitely usable for a few crisp training altitude meters. The climb from Neuenhausen is more beautiful, a sight without eye cancer. And since the asphalt is brittle here and there is a lot of forest waste lying around, this side is not recommended as a descent. It is more fun in the direction of Allrath or, even better, in the direction of Neurath / Frimmersdorf (keyword Teufelshörnchen).

Mariengrotte Barrenstein

Highlight • Religious Site

Particularly worth seeing is the shrine of the Virgin Mary for the fallen of the world wars.
Generally the spiritual center of the place is here:
The church is opposite the Mariengrotte - and spiritual drinks are available from the whiskey dealer next door ...
