Beautiful circular hiking trail through the most recent recultivation area of the Sophienhöhe.
This circular hiking trail has some scenic highlights. Some plantings along the route were only created in the 1990s. At the top, on the "Höller Horn", for example, nutrient-poor sand, clayey material and gravel were deliberately dumped. There was no planting here and the area remains natural, which means that valuable succession areas could be created. Due to human influence, these are otherwise hardly available and this circular hiking trail offers the unique change of observing the process of succession undisturbed and the more than 100 different bird species that have settled here.
