    Tips

    Cycling

    The Millicher Halde is a spoil heap of the Sophia-Jacoba hard coal mine in Hückelhoven. The volume of the 70-meter-high heap is 10 million cubic meters of spoil over an area of 32 hectares.
    The stacking of the Millicher Halde began in 1936 and continued until 1972. The heap was already planted in the 1970s and has since provided a habitat for a large population of common toads. In 2002, the heap was released from mining supervision.
