Vollrather Höhe, Spoil heap in Grevenbroich, Germany
The Vollrather Höhe rises to 187 meters above sea level, featuring agricultural land at 165 meters and dense forest covering its slopes.
Created between 1955 and 1968 from the Frimmersdorf-West lignite mining operation, this artificial hill opened to the public in 1973.
The heap derives its name from Gut Vollrath, a former estate marked by a memorial stone and three linden trees linked to local folklore.
Multiple service roads from Neuenhausen, Allrath, and Frimmersdorf districts provide access to the hiking and cycling paths across the elevation.
Seven modern wind turbines installed between 2013 and 2016 generate electricity atop this manufactured mountain, replacing older installations from 1995.
