Open Landscape on Sophienhöhe

Highlight • Natural

The Sophienhöhe is located - visible from afar and towering over the Jülich Börde - directly north of the Hambach opencast mine, around 6 km east of Jülich. While the majority of it belongs to its urban area, its northeastern part is in the municipality of Titz and its eastern and southern parts are in that of Niederzier. Most of it lies in the area of the original (now largely cleared) Hambacher Forest, a forest area between the towns of Stetternich, Hambach and Alt-Lich-Steinstraß.

Sophienhöhe Forest Trails

Highlight • Forest

The hiking trails on Sophienhöhe are in very good condition. Mostly made of sand or gravel, which is very easy to walk on.
