Hoogte 80, Urban park in Monnikenhuizen district, Arnhem, Netherlands
Hoogte 80 is an urban park in the Monnikenhuizen district with a viewpoint at approximately 77 meters elevation, looking east over Arnhem, the IJssel river, and the Liemers region. The grounds consist of tall grass, scattered shrubs, and small trees that create an open landscape.
The stone monument at the observation point was installed with directional indicators showing the locations of surrounding cities, helping visitors understand regional geography. This orientation system has been a feature of the site since its establishment.
The site hosts the annual Hoogte80 Festival, which offers four days of music, theater, and literature performances during Ascension Day celebrations. Visitors gather to experience cultural events in this open setting overlooking the city.
Visitors should expect variable weather and dress appropriately, especially with wind at the exposed elevation. The park is open year-round and offers clear paths that are easy to walk.
On clear nights, visitors can see thousands of city lights spreading across the region, with views toward the Montferland hills and the cities of Kleve and Nijmegen. This nighttime display reveals human settlements across the surrounding area in ways not visible by day.
