Hiking

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.

Hiking

Very nice varied landscape. Not natural, of course, but planted and laid out.
