Highlight • Religious Site

In Heppendorf there's also a snack bar, but if I still have food, this idyllic bank is the place for my last break before Cologne.

It was built in 1799 by Peter Matthias Geuenich. For about 150 years she did her duty and processed grain into flour. After the mill burnt down in 1909 (1908?) After a lightning strike, it was subsequently operated as a steam mill. In World War II she was hit by a bomb in 1944. Later it was electrically operated as a "modern mill". The mill was in operation until after the Second World War. In 2004, it was restored.

Forum :terra nova – View of the Hambach open‑pit mine

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Forum :terra nova is located directly at the Hambach opencast mine and offers a breathtaking view of the largest lignite mine in Europe. The facade represents the colors and structure of the layers of earth from the opencast mine. In addition to gastronomy, the forum also functions as an event location and offers, for example, concerts (“Music with a View”), exhibitions and readings. Thanks to the spacious outdoor terrace, playground and e-bike charging stations, it is ideal for a long break.
