Beautiful circular hiking trail through the most recent recultivation area of the Sophienhöhe.
This circular hiking trail has some scenic highlights. Some of the plantings along the route were only planted in the 1990s. On the "Höller Horn", for example, nutrient-poor sand, clayey material and gravel were deliberately dumped. No vegetation was planted here and the area was left in its natural state, allowing valuable succession areas to develop. Due to human influence, these are otherwise hardly present and this circular walk offers a unique change to observe the process of succession undisturbed and the more than 100 different bird species that have settled here.
